What is recorded here

Two pits, one cutting into the other, were revealed during an archaeological excavation at Bank Place in 2001 (Hurley and O'Donnell 2001, unpublished report). One large sub-circular pit (dims. 2.66m N-S; 2.58m E-W; D 2.25m), filled with mostly organic material and some clay, was partially excavated (ibid.). Finds included pottery of mid 13th to mid 14th century date. This pit was cut by another sub-circular pit (D 0.92m) filled with ash, organic material and charcoal, which was only partially excavated (ibid.). It was interpreted as a general dumping area, perhaps close to some domestic buildings or an industrial site (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 05 August 2014
