Settlement cluster in Ballaghaline

Settlement cluster

What is recorded here

On a dynamic, SSW-facing storm beach and in proximity to a prehistoric axe factory (CL008A010----). Noted in February 2008 by Mr Simon Large, former Clare County Archaeologist (RIP) and described as several wall structures visible in section in the truncated (by storm action) face of a sand dune and interpreted as field divisions indicative of possible early settlement in the area. The features, by turn obscured and/or eroded out by recurring storm action, occur at a significantly higher level within the dune system than the axe factory (pers. comm. Mr Michael Lynch).
