What is recorded here

Situated on a fairly level landscape. Archaeological testing (05E1321) by S. Halliday (2007) identified archaeological features (excavations.ie 2006:1496) that were further excavated (06E0782) by the same archaeologist when parts of a circular and a subrectangular enclosure were recorded (excavations.ie 2006:1498). Six kilns were also excavated in this area, within the enclosures and outside them. They were usually of figure-of eight type, appearing as oval features (dims 2.1-4.1m x 0.84-1.48m; D 0.13-0.35m) with distinct bowls and shallower flues and had fire-reddened bases. Their particular use is not yet determined and their relationships with the enclosures are uncertain, but in at least one case the flue of a kiln cuts the outer edge of the fosse of the circular enclosure.
