Road

Archaeological testing (04E0285) during 2004 and 2007 identified two roadways extending S from the graveyard (WA017-003002-). The earlier is a hollow-way (Wth c. 3m; D 0.4m) with a ditch (Wth 0.8m; D 0.4m) on its E side and probably its W, and runs S (L c. 40m) from the W end of the preceptory building (WA017-003004-) (L c. 40m). It was overlain by a later building, but a ditch associated with a second hollow way on a slightly different axis to the earlier one cut this building. Parallel ditches from this road (Wth c. 10m) could be traced c. 80m to the SSW of the preceptory. (Pollock 2007b, c; 2010b) Pollock, D. (2007b) Kilbarry. Medieval: monastic. in I. Bennett (ed.)
