• LI010-140 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  An solated pit and stakes excavated by Emer Dennehy (02E0752) and described as 'a pit 0.3m deep. Five stakes, averaging 0.08m in diameter and with a maximum depth of 0.25m, were driven into the base of the pit. All of the stakes-holes were filled with the same charcoal-rich, silty peat, indicating that they were likely to have been burnt in situ. Subsequently the pit had been left open and filled naturally over time. Although there is no clear indication of function for this pit, it can be concluded that there was deliberate human action and forethought involved in the use of the site.'

  A limestone trackway excavated by Emer Dennehy (02E0670) and described as 'a trackway composed of two courses of fractured limestone bedrock, measuring 10m north-south by 15.5m. It served to connect the roasting pits of Area B to the debris mound of Area A. The need for the construction of the trackway arose during Phase 2 of the history of the site. It provided a secure, level footing to combat adverse weather conditions, the encroachment of peat and the seasonal flooding from the nearby stream.'
