• KD010-008 Field system
  Description

  A 1970 aerial photograph (CUCAP BDU 44) shows earthworks covering a rectangular area (est. dims. L c. 150m N-S; Wth c. 100m E-W). At the E-foot of a low rise, under crop, and not visible, when inspected in 1985 (SMR file). In 2000, in advance of a commercial development, six test-trenches were excavated in the area (Excavation Licence no. 00E0330). No finds or features were revealed suggesting that the earthworks had been removed through ploughing and the levelling of the field over the years. Further monitoring and test-trenching in the area (Excavation Licence no. 00E0888) produced no finds, features or structures of any archaeological significance.

• KD010-040 Burial ground
  Description

  In 2004, in advance of the construction of a large housing estate, archaeological test trenching (Duffy C. Excavation Licence No. 04E0644) followed by monitoring of topsoil-stripping over the entire site resulted in the discovery and excavation of a previously unrecorded burial ground (KD010-040----) and, c. 100m to the ESE, two bowl furnaces (KD011-061----). The burials were on a very slight rise and were set out in six rows within a roughly subrectangular area (14m E-W; 6.5m N-S), with two juvenile burials immediately to the north of the main group. The graves were simple unlined pits excavated through an upper, largely stone-free, subsoil into the surface of a lower stony clay subsoil that formed the base of the cuts. All but two were aligned east-west. There were occasional instances of small slabs laid at the side of the grave or overlying the interments. At least 55 individuals are represented among the burials, including disarticulated remains and skeletons disturbed by later grave-cuts. No artefacts were found with any of the burials, but the cemetery is most likely to date to the Early Christian period. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 11 January 2013

  Description

  In 2004, in advance of the construction of a large housing estate, archaeological test trenching (Duffy C. Excavation Licence No. 04E0644) followed by monitoring of topsoil-stripping over the entire site resulted in the discovery and excavation of two bowl furnaces (KD011-061----) and, c. 100m to the WNW, a small burial ground (KD010-040----). Two adjacent bowl furnaces, with diameters of 0.66m and 0.9m and depths of 0.37m and 0.45m respectively, contained metal slag and charcoal. Nearby was a hearth, comprising a charcoal-rich deposit, 0.7m by 0.52m and 0.05m thick, over oxidised subsoil. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 11 January 2013
