• KD011-069 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated in a greenfield area directly north of Celbridge town. Site bounded to the West by R405. The majority of the site was located on pastureland, although the SW portion was truncated by a laneway with mature hedgerows. No surface remains visible of enclosure prior to excavation. The site consisted of an earth-cut enclosure defined by 2 concentric ditches. It was initially identified through geophysical survey (Nicholls 2018) and test excavation (Coen 2019). Full excavation (Coen 2019) revealed that the enclosure ditch 1.6-2.6m wide by 1.5m deep (max) and would have originally enclosed an area of c.2,965 sq. m. Portions of the enclosure ditch and internal area were substantially disturbed by an entrance avenue aligned on an adjoining property. There were 2 phases of activity recorded within the excavated ditch sections. The primary phase is currently undated but expected to be early medieval. The 2nd phase is dated to the late medieval period by pottery association. Additional artefacts found during excavations include an iron pin shank, various iron nails knives, a sickle, copper alloy objects, a copper alloy pseudo-penannular ring-brooch, a lignite bracelet fragment, stone spindle whorl, and bone pin fragment. Areas excavated outside of the main enclosure revealed additional features: 2 corn drying kilns, bowl furnace and portion of field system marked out with narrow ditches. One inhumation burial [KD011-069001-] was discovered within main enclosure ditch.
