Recorded monuments

• KK023-005 Enclosure
  Description

  Identified as the cropmark of a roughly circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 40m) with a wide outer fosse on an aerial photograph (CUCAP AVL077, 15 July 1968). The field boundary visible on the photograph, running N-S immediately E of the enclosure, has since been levelled. See attached: KK023-005----_01 aerial photograph (CUCAP AVL077, 15 July 1968) Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 31 May 2021

• KK023-007 Moated site
  Description

  Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and 1947 revision as a square enclosure (dims. c. 50m N-S; c. 52m E-W) with slightly rounded corners. According to Barry (1977, 191) the monument had been removed, 'in the last ten years', c. 1960s and was in tillage with a maize crop. An aerial photograph taken in 1989 shows it as a cropmark, defined by a fosse (Wth c. 4m) (GB89.P.24, 13 July 1989).

• KK023-174 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  Excavated in advance of the realignment of the N76 Callan Road (Excavation licence number 15E0567) (Hull 2016). An enclosure (KK023-005----) is located c. 100m to the NE). A keyhole-shaped kiln consisting of a circular chamber (diam. 1.2m; D 0.2m) (ibid. 9). The partially stone-lined flue (D 0.25m) widened from the junction with chamber (Wth 0.36m) to a globular fire bowl (Wth 1.05m; D 0.25m) at the SW (L of flue and fire bowl 3.4m) (ibid.). The kiln appears to have been well cleaned out after its final use (ibid. 19). However, there were several fill layers, though little identifiable charred wood was recovered, with small amounts of oak and hazel (ibid.). There were also deposits of charred cereal grain, predominantly oat, with some barley and wheat (ibid.). A radiocarbon determination (UBA-32412, 938±41 BP) from a charred oat grain gave a date of cal. AD 1020-1186, in the 11th to 12th centuries AD (ibid. 10).
