This site was identified by geophysical survey (Licence no. 05R030Ext) and confirmed by test excavation (Licence no. 05E0415) within Killeen Castle Demesne in advance of golf course development. Characterised by a D-shaped enclosure and associated field system (ME038-049002-) that was truncated by a laneway and 19th century quarrying. The D-shaped enclosure (35m diam.) is defined by a large ditch (Wth 4.4m) enclosing a number of pits, stone features and charcoal rich deposits. The remains of two skeletons were also identified. Radiocarbon analysis of a sample from the enclosure ditch returned a date of AD 990-1153 (Baker 2009, 36). Preserved in situ. Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 22 February 2015
