Recorded monuments
- DU013-043 Cremation pit
Description
Excavated (Licence no. E3917) in advance of the construction of the Tyrrelstown to N2 Link Road, this monument consisted of a cluster of three cremation pits. Pit 1 (0.47m x 0.40m) contained a mix of cremated human bone, charcoal and fragments of burnt clay. While the weight of cremated bone recovered was a fraction of a cremated individual analysis revealed the burial to be an older adolescent or perhaps an adult (O’Hara R. 2008, 2). Pit 2 (0.27m x 0.25m) contained a mix of cremated human bone, charcoal and fragments of burnt clay. While the weight of cremated bone recovered was a fraction of a cremated individual analysis revealed the burial to be an older adolescent or, perhaps, an adult. A charred false oat-grass tuber was identified and may have been used as kindling for the funeral pyre (O’Hara R. 2008, 2). Pit 3 (0.5m x 0.4m) was located immediately adjacent to Pit 2 and contained cremation deposit placed within a coarse pottery vessel. The burial was radiocarbon dated to the Late Bronze Age (1010-840 cal. BC). The vessel which survived to a height of 12cm is a Late Bronze age vessel similar to domestic vessels of the same date (O’Hara R. 2008, 3).

The interior contained a deposit of charcoal and cremated bone (0.3m diam.) placed slightly off-centre within the enclosing ditch. Charcoal from this deposit was identified as hazel while charred barley grains could indicate food offerings placed on the pyre.
