- LI010-134 Pit
Description
According to the excavator Graham Hull (02E0873) 'this site was examined as part of Bord Gáis Éireann's Pipeline to the West. An isolated oval pit measuring 1.6m (north-south) by 0.95m was excavated. The pit sides were steep, and the base was uneven, with a maximum depth of 0.1m. The primary fill was a fine, dark brown/black silt that was very rich in charcoal flecks and pieces. Some of the charcoal was up to 0.03m in diameter. The charcoal appeared fresh and suggested that the fire that produced it had occurred relatively recently. The secondary pit fill was redeposited topsoil that had been placed into the pit in order to extinguish the fire.'
