Structure in Wexford

Archaeological testing (02E0205) on the W side of Stonebridge Lane uncovered stratigraphy that was more than 2m deep throughout. Most of the material at the upper levels was post-medieval redeposit, probably in an effort to raise ground levels. The lower deposits were estuarine in character, and a short section of the top of a wall (Wth 0.35m; L 2.2m) that was bonded with lime mortar was recorded in the silts. The silts relate to the estuary of the Bishop’s Pill, a culverted section of which had been identified on another site c. 30m to the NE associated with midden material (WX037-032024-).
