• LE037-017001 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Situated on a narrow low NE-SW ridge at the edge of a raised peat bog that extends off to the E and S. First identified in centre-line testing (05E0983) for a new line of the N4 (O’Connor et al. 2005, 43), and later fully excavated (E003311) as a part of Aghnahunshin. Excavation recorded three fulachta fia and associated features. This is a spread of burnt and broken stone (dims 10.2m x 9m; max. T 0.14m) overlying a circular trough (diam. 2m; D 0.7m). The trough had four layers with varying proportions of silt, sand, burnt stone and charcoal, and it was cut by a shallow feature (dims 4.5m x 1.5m; D 0.3m) extending off to the NE, which may have been a step. This was filled with three layers of burnt stone. (Seaver and O’Connor 2009, 13-14; Seaver 2009, 311) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 9 January 2020 O’Connor, D.

• LE037-017002 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Situated at the crest of a slight E-facing slope which is at the edge of a raised peat bog that extends off to the E and S. First identified in centre-line testing (05E0983) for a new line of the N4 (O’Connor et al. 2005, 43), and later fully excavated (E003311) as a part of Aghnahunshin. Excavation recorded three fulachta fia and associated features. This is a spread of topsoil mixed with burnt and broken stone (dims 10m x 5.1m; T 0.12m) which was truncated by many later drains but was overlying a denser mound (dims 8m x 5m; max. T 0.26m). This produced a C14 date of 3803 +- 30 BP (2350-2130 cal. BC), placing its use at the start of the Early Bronze Age. At the SW edge of the mound was a subcircular trough (dims 1.6m x 1.3m; D 0.36m) filled mostly with silts and some burnt stone but which produced a C14 date of 3864 +- 30 BP (2470-2200 cal. BC). Under the W edge of the mound were three shallow round-bottomed pits (diam. c. 1m; D 0.1m), which are interpreted as stands for baskets. There were larger pits on the E side (dims 2.2m x 1.5m; D 0.2-0.5m; 2.05m x 1.2m; D 0.5m; 1.6m x 1.2m; D 0.4m) which were filled with a mix of the burnt mound material and a peaty wash, from which a barbed and tanged arrowhead, a worked flint, a chert scarper and a what is probably an axe rough-out were recovered. Some of these pits were served by a channel (L c. 6m x c. 1m; D 0.2-0.8m; 7 4m x 1.1m; D 0.2-0.8m) and, being at a lower level than the trough, may have been dug to collect water the run-off water.

  Description

First identified in centre-line testing (05E0983) for a new line of the N4 (O’Connor et al. 2005, 43), and later fully excavated (E003311) as a part of Aghnahunshin. Excavation recorded three fulachta fia and associated features. This is a thin spread of burnt and broken stone (dims c. 7m x 4m; max. T 0.12m) truncated by an E-W field bank at N. The burnt material is overlying a rectangular trough (dims 2.5m x 0.97m; max. D 0.1m) at its NW edge and an oval trough (dims 2.75m x 1.6m; max. D 0.27m) at its SE edge. Both were filled with burnt mound material but a sample from the oval trough produced a C14 date of 1066 +- 30 BP (cal. AD 890-1030) demonstrating its re-use during the Early Medieval Period. This trough has a step on the N side with re-deposited natural soil nearby. (Seaver and O’Connor 2009, 16-17; Seaver 2009, 312) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 9 January 2020 O’Connor, D.
