• KK027-017 Field system
  Description

  In tillage. A sub-square enclosure (dims. c. 50m N-S), the fosse of which was identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP ATA007, 16 July 1967). Though less well defined, there appears to be an adjoining sub-rectangular cropmark enclosure to the S with a curving fosse running SE from the latter’s SE angle. Possibly part of a field system.

• KK027-084 Field system
  Description

  On a gentle S-facing slope in rolling landscape under tillage. Excavated in 2007 in advance of the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road improvement scheme (Licence no. E3575). A field system consisting of three E-W boundary ditches and an associated linear furrow. These were dated to the medieval period on the basis of medieval pottery (13th-century Kilkenny-type ware) in their fills. The boundaries extend beyond the limits of the excavation to the W. Post-medieval features including structures, linear drains, ditches and furrows relating to a farmstead were excavated in the same area. A field system (KK027-017----) lies c. 200m to the NW.

  Description

  On a gentle S-facing slope overlooking the King River valley. Excavated in 2007 in advance of the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road improvement scheme (Licence no. E3576). A total of 9 cereal-drying kiln, six of which were keyhole shaped. Two of the kilns displayed evidence for multiple uses. Kiln 1 had three phases of activity and was associated with a circular post-hole. Kiln 2 also had an associated post-hole and contained a possible hone stone and a worked flint flake. Three of the kilns were radiocarbon dated and all produced early medieval dates ranging from AD615 to 806 (UBA 12182-4).
