Riverine revetment in Unknown Townland

Riverine revetment

What is recorded here

Archaeological excavations in 1990 exposed a timber revetment of early Thirteenth century date. This was a front- braced revetment, which would have narrowed the water channel to a width of 2.8m. There is also evidence for a stone revetting wall of later Fourteenth century date (Walsh , C 1997, 60-69).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
