What is recorded here

We regLocated towards the bottom of an E-facing slope with a small S-N stream c. 180m to the E. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified four small areas of burnt stones in a clay and charcoal mixes (Doyle et al. 2010, 37-8). It was set aside for resolution as Arnestown 2, which consisted of several areas. When this area (D) was excavated (E4111) it revealed a clay-cut trough (dims 1.3mx 1.3m; D 0.31m) containing some burnt stone material, but the trough had been truncated on the E side by a slightly curving N-S drain (Wth 1.2m; D 0.38m) and its burnt mound had been dispersed. Fulacht fia (WX034-098001-) is c. 120m to the WSW and fulacht fia (WX034-0098003-) is c. 50m to the NNE (Clarke and Hackett 2012, 9; Hackett 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 September, 2013
