- KD010-001008 Settlement deserted - medieval
Description
In 2003, in advance of a development which was bordered along the N by the presumed line of the Pale boundary, five test-trenches were mechanically excavated (Excavation licence No. 03E0373). A number of shallow gulleys/ditches filled with silt containing medieval (13th-14th-century) pottery were uncovered. (www.excavations.ie) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD010-003 Enclosure
Description
On a very gentle S-facing pasture slope. Visible on a 1968 aerial photograph (CUCAP AVR 14) as a circular area (est. diam c. 100m) defined by a hedged townland boundary NNW-N-NNE, and elsewhere by low earthworks. While the townland boundary survives, a modern house has been built on the NE sector and elsewhere a low (H 0.2-0.4m) intermittent scarp defines the limits along the S.
