What is recorded here

Excavation (Licence nos. 06E0288ext. and 08E0032ext.) undertaken at the site in advance of the Ballycoolin road realignment indicated that the area close to the ‘site of’ Cappogue Castle (DU014-027---- ) was used for domestic occupation and agricultural activity during the medieval period. This monument was one of several possible structures identified and comprised foundations trenches that formed a rectangular building (11.7m x 6m) on an E-W axis. Pottery recovered from the vicinity indicates occupation during the 12th – 14th centuries (McQuade 2010, 76). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 6 February 2015
