Description
On Limerick racecourse track on a slight NW-facing slope. Fulacht fia (LI022-226----) lies 220m to W and enclosure (LI022-185----) 200m to SE. Not depicted on the 1840 0S 6-inch map or the 1897 25-inch OS map. Identified as Site 22 by Celie O’Rahilly, archaeologist, Limerick Corporation as part of an archaeological assessment for the development of a racecourse at Greenmount, Co. Limerick. The monument was described as following; ‘a low bank defining a figure-of-eight shape, orientated south-west/north-east. The central area measuring 22m long by 12m wide is at a slightly lower area than the surrounding field, which slopes gently eastwards. Possible double ring-barrow’ (O‘Rahilly 1995). Visited by the ASI in 2000 and described as no surface remains visible. Not visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 19/11/2019. See attached location map by Celie O'Rahilly showing location of site 22. Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date upload: 11 August 2020
- LI022-226 Fulacht fia
Description
Identified as Site B during archaeological monitoring associated with the development of Limerick Racecourse (Licence No. 98E0252). Excavated under licence no. 98E0252 by Edmond O’Donovan when it was described as following; ‘Site B, Logavinshire townland, was identified during monitoring as a spread of charcoal and fire-reddened clay immediately under the topsoil on the slope of the south-western ridge. A cutting measuring 3.5m north-south by 2.4m was opened. Two larger areas measuring 10m x 10m were then opened on the site's southern and eastern sides to establish whether the feature extended beyond the cutting. This proved not to be the case. The excavation revealed an arc-shaped linear feature 2.95m long and 0.7m wide. The trench varied from 0.19m to 0.28m deep and was U-shaped in profile. It was filled with bands of compact, redeposited, burnt tan boulder clay and grey, charcoal-flecked clay. A dense oval deposit of charcoal measuring 0.26m east-west by 0.48m and 0.07m deep was present centrally in the feature. A bronze ring was retrieved from the loose residual topsoil over the surface of the feature. The ring was oval and was between 26mm and 28mm wide. It was solidly cast, with a facetted section measuring 30-40mm in diameter. The ring's original function and date are uncertain; however, it may have formed part of a brooch (where the pin is missing)’ (www.excavations.ie Site No. 402; O'Donovan 2000, 134).
