What is recorded here

Clear water is moving through the chamber, filling the chamber and leaving no record behind. The claimant must provide clear facts about the chamber, the cache and the real identity of the chamber.

While the large enclosure, rath and burial ground are preserved under introduced soil in a green area all the available external area was excavated (15E0125) under the direction of S. McGlade in 2018-19 (excavations.ie 2019:474). East of the large rath, in the triangular area available for excavation, two circular or penannular structures and one rectangular feature were recorded in a N-S line with a small enclosure just to the NE. The most southerly feature was rectangular (int. dims c. 10.7m E-W; c. 6.75m N-S) and defined by a gully (Wth c. 0.35m; D 0.15m to Wth c. 0.7m; D 0.4m) with an entrance gap (Wth 1.05m) at the centre of the N side. Its gully was re-cut as narrow slot-trenches in places but it had no postholes or internal features associated with it and almost half of it lies outside the excavated area. However, a small iron hand-bell of Scandinavian character that is likely to date to the ninth or tenth century was recovered from a slot-trench of this feature.
