Recorded monuments

• DU026-027 Enclosure
  Description

  The site is located in a field of pasture on rising ground W of Brides Glen near Loughlinstown. An aerial photograph taken in 1971 (FSI 3.698/9) shows part of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 23m) which is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 14 April 2018.

• DU026-133 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  This monument was discovered during stripping of topsoil on a flat ridge in 1998. It comprises a circular ditch (D 0.6m) with an internal diameter of c. 8.5m which encloses a mound. There were no surviving traces of an external bank. Within the mound was a supine juvenile inhumation in poor condition, and there was no indication of a formal grave-cut. A pit cut into the mound containing five cattle teeth. The central mound was capped with a layer of clay that contained a pit cremation and a number of small spreads of charcoal. There was a small amount of fragmentary burnt human bone in the cremation, suggesting token deposition. Within the ring-ditch the primary fill contained a large number of fragments of burnt bone. The quantity of this material suggests that it may represent pyre debris. Burnt human and animal bone and disarticulated animal bone was distributed irregularly but appeared in various densities throughout the ring-ditch. The faunal remains included cattle teeth and shed antler. Pieces of struck flint were found (mainly at the four cardinal points), including two thumbnail scrapers, which suggest a possible Bronze Age date (0'Neill 2000, 40-42, ). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 29 April 2009

• DU026-141 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Topsoil monitoring in 1998 exposed a 24m (N-S) by 9m fulacht fiadh on a west-facing slope. The mound of the fulacht fiadh had been levelled by later activity. Eight troughs were identified on the site, circular or subcircular and unlined. The diameters ranged from 1.2m to 2m, and they were 0.3-0.8m deep. Several appeared to have been cut into natural springs. Hearths were identified as a number of circular areas of burnt clay beside the troughs. A series of finds was recovered including undecorated coarseware (Lough Gur Class II) recovered from the lowest level. The pottery was mainly Lough Gur Class II-style undecorated coarseware with simple rims, a tulip-shaped profile and flat bases (Knockadoon variant). A single sherd of decorated (Beaker?) pottery was recovered at this level. The main deposit of burnt material contained a number of sherds of AOC comb-incised Beaker pottery, along with more of the Lough Gur Class II ware. Flint flakes, debitage and hammerstones were also recovered from this deposit. A number of flint artefacts were recovered from the disturbed area of the lane and the interface between F81 and the natural at the north of the site. These included three intact javelin heads (62mm, 78mm and 118mm long), a broken and unfinished one and a leaf-shaped arrowhead (45mm long). A side-scraper and a double-ended scraper/ hollow scraper were also recovered from this area. Butchered animal bone was recovered from the upper (midden and topsoil) levels of the site. In only one instance could bone (an ovicaprid tooth) be associated with the fulacht fiadh phase (O Neill 1999, 40-42). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 21 April 2018.

• DU026-142 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Topsoil monitoring in 1998 revealed an irregularly shaped deposit of burnt stone (100% granite, up to 0.25m long) and charcoal on a west-facing slope. The overall dimensions of the spread are 7.1m (N-S) by 3.6m; the depth was up to 0.23m at 33.95m OD. Later disturbance was apparent to the east of the site, and in the west a cobble-filled field drain cuts the site in a north-south direction. A trough lay below the north-eastern corner of the burnt spread. The trough had two phases of use: the original trough and the later recut. The original trough measures 1.8m (SW-NE) by 0.5m and is up to 0.8m deep. It was filled with a deposit of sticky, grey clay, which contained burnt granite, charcoal and other burnt stone fragments. Four surviving post-holes appeared in the corners of the trough. The recut trough measured 2.05m (NE-SW) by 1.35m and was up to 0.6m deep. Post-holes from the original lining were visible along the long sides of the trough, five on each side. There were no datable finds, but the site is probably Bronze Age in date (O Neill 1999, 54-57). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 21 April 2018.

• DU026-155 House - prehistoric
  Description

  Archaeological excavations in 1998 revealed the remains of a prehistoric house defined by post-holes (L8m, Wth 6m). Finds from the topsoil include burnt and unburnt flint, prehistoric pottery and a rubbing stone (Ó Néill 2000, 40). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 26 May 2018.
