What is recorded here
New monument uncovered during excavation by Ros O Maolduin under licence number 03E0633 in advance of the M7 Heath-Mayfield motorway scheme.
The excavation at site F at Cappakeel townland revealed a prehistoric ring-ditch, a linear ditch (LA009-051) of medieval date and a series of charcoal production pits (LA009-052). The ring-ditch was relatively small, with an internal diameter of 3.5m. It showed no evidence of any entrance but was disturbed on the NW side by a linear medieval ditch (Bennett 2006, 289).
