- LI010-140: Excavation - miscellaneous, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI010-140----. 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 burnt mound excavated by Emer Dennehy (02E0670) and described as 'a circular mound, 16m in diameter and 0.84m deep. It was composed of 70% limestone and 30% sandstone in a charcoal-enriched matrix. Six phases of activity were identified in the mound. A shallow rectangular trough was present at the base of the mound, measuring 4.3m north-south by 2.45m.'

Pits excavated by Emer Dennehy (02E0670) and described as 'a complex of six roasting pits excavated into the underlying gravel.

It provided a secure, level footing to combat adverse weather conditions, the encroachment of peat and the seasonal flooding from the nearby stream.'

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
