Recorded monuments
- LE035-043 Burnt mound
Description
Situated on a fairly level landscape, sloping down slightly to the NW. First identified in centre-line testing (05E0983) for a new line of the N4 (O’Connor et al. 2005, 25), and later fully resolved (E003292) as Cloonturk 2. A large spread of broken and burn stone (dims 8m x 6m; max. T 0.3m) was completely excavated and covered a pit (dims 1.2m x 0.96m; D 0.5m), the E half of which was filled with stone and the rest with peaty clays. A piece of struck flint came from the burnt mound and mound material produced a C14 date of 3976+-30BP (2580-2400 cal. BC) placing it at the cusp of the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. Two smaller deposits of broken and burnt stone (dims 1.9m x 1.3m: 3m x 1.8m; T 0.1m) were in the vicinity and a sample from the larger produced a C14 date of 3775+_30 BP (2300-2050) placing it at the beginning of the Early Bronze Age.

Description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. First identified in centre-line testing (05E0983) for a new line of the N4 (O’Connor et al. 2005, 26), and later fully resolved (E003293) as Cloonturk 1. A small pit (dims 0.94m x 0.7m; D 0.25m) was filled by a brown clay/sand deposit with charcoal inclusions and small stones but no artefacts were recovered. It may be prehistoric as might a nearby layer (dims 1.6m x 0.82m; D 0.2m) filling a hollow, and both were stratigraphically earlier than post-medieval ditches and drains. An unmapped drain (L 50m; Wth 1.5m D 0.25-0.4m 32) extended E-W and was probably contemporary with a N-S unmapped field drain (L 30m Wth 1.5m; D 0.35m) at its W end.
