• CL026-187 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  A post-medieval pit was excavated in 2002 (Licence no. 02E1152) as part of the Bord Gáis Éireann Pipeline to the west. Described by Hull (2004) as ‘A single oval pit (measuring 2.3m north-south by 0.7m and 0.4m deep) with steep sides and a concave base…. The fill was a loose, mid- to dark brown, fine silt and gravel with frequent inclusions of small stones (diameter typically 0.05-0.1m) and occasional larger ones (diameter typically 0.2-0.3m). Occasional charcoal flecking was also observed in the fill. Very fresh fragments of animal bone were recovered from the pit. The loose compaction of the pit fill, combined with the presence of fresh fragments of animal bone, indicates a relatively recent date. Navvy activity, associated with the construction of the Ennis to Galway railway line (75m to the north-west) in the 19th century may explain the origin of this feature.’ (Hull 2004, 43) Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 12 July 2016

• CL026-189 Charcoal-making site
  Description

  A shall oval pit (4m x 1.6m; D 0.28m) with a flat base aligned N-S was excavated in 2004 (Casey 2006, Licence no. 04E0052) in advance of the N18 Ennis bypass. It was situated in a sheltered area close to the bottom of a slope. Its charcoal-rich fill indicated that two fires had been lit in quick succession. Elm charcoal returned a radiocarbon date of AD 1010-1180 (Beta-211577). The size and contents of the pit suggest that it functioned as a charcoal-production pit (Casey 2007, 32, no. 137; Bermingham, Casey, Hull and Taylor 2012, 73-4) Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 10 October 2016

• CL026-200 Enclosure
