What is recorded here

In 2002 archaeological monitoring by Richard Crumlish of a development to the south of an earthwork (TN036-005) site revealed a fulacht fiadh, two burnt spreads and two charcoal spreads. This monitoring was carried out under Licence No. 02E0945 (Bennett 2004, 476). The Fulacht Fiadh was excavated under Licence No. 02E1253. The site was situated on the edge of a west-facing slope, adjacent to an area of peat. It did not have a definite shape, probably owing to the disturbance caused by the bulldozer while stripping the topsoil. It measured 20m x 14m. Two puts and a rock-cut trough were uncovered during the excavation. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
