To the W of Emmet Street and within the former demesne lands of Ash Hill Towers, located 350m to SW. On the S outskirts of Kilmallock historic town (LI047-022001-), site of Castle Coote (LI047-021002-) and enclosure (LI047-021001-) 240m to S, gatehouse (Blossom Gate)(LI047-022007-) of Kilmallock town walls 170m to NE. Medieval ditch identified by Rory Sherlock during archaeological pre-development testing (Licence No. 03E1609) associated with a housing development project, the results were summarised as following; ‘A large number of features were investigated in the low-lying area between the town and the hill upon which the castle site is situated and, though most of these appeared to derive from early modern agricultural activity, one shallow ditch was found, when sectioned, to contain three pieces of medieval pottery. No other finds or features of archaeological interest were noted’ (www.excavations.ie 2003; No. 1164, Sherlock 2003). Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date upload: 20 August 2021
