• KD004-014 Crannog
  Description

  In a partially wooded area in open, improved pasture, at the confluence of a small NE-flowing stream with the NW-flowing River Blackwater. Described by O'Neill (1973-4, 250) as a crannog (dims. L c. 100m N-S; Wth c. 80m E-W) composed of hazel brush, stone and worked timbers, divided by the river and stream, both of which were drained in 1973, when the dredged material was deposited on portion of the site (dims. L c. 60m; Wth c. 15m; H c. 2m). This spoil contained human and animal bones, a perforated antler tine, iron slag and some timbers, all of which were collected and deposited in the National Museum of Ireland. The main drainage embankment is along the E side of the Blackwater and the river flows through a deep, narrow, V-shaped cut with nothing archaeological visible along the banks. A possible trackway (KD004-014001-) approaches the site from the W. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD004-014001 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  Approaching a possible crannog (KD004-014----) from the W. Cullen (1999, 86-7) noted a possible grassed-over, gravel 'causeway' (L c. 75m E-W; Wth 3m; H 0.2m) crossing lower ground immediately W of the possible crannog and ending at W at a low counterscarp. The feature survives as described by Cullen. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD004-033 Moated site
  Description

  In open, gently undulating, recently drained pasture, c. 300m S of the River Blackwater. The site is indicated on both the 1st (1838) and latest ed. (1911) of the OS 6-inch map as an enclosed rectangular area (dims. L c. 40m NW-SE; Wth c. 35m) which by 1911 contained trees. According to the landowner, the area was cleared in the 1970's, and there is no visible surface trace of the feature (SMR file). It may have been a moated site which was subsequently landscaped: compare KD004-032----, and see KD004-012---- and KD004-030----. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
