This site was excavated (Licence no. 05E0414ext.) within Killeen Castle Demesne in advance of development. Overlying the Anglo-Norman enclosure (ME038-050002-) this rectangular medieval structure (8.2m x 4.5m)and associated cistern was aligned N-S. Constructed from clay boned limestone block it survived from 1-3 courses in height. Internally nine distinct floor deposits were identified. Analysis of the deposit indicated a high content of bread wheat. Also present were the bones of a whole salmon and the faunal evidence indicated that meat was being hung indicating a storage facility. A radiocarbon date range of AD 1030-1250 was returned although pottery recovered indicated it was used during the latter part of that timeframe (Baker 2009, 63).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record ME038-050003
