Recorded monuments

• LI006-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On gently undulating pasture to the immediate E of an historic farmyard. The site is described from cartographic and aerial photographic evidence only. Depicted as a circular shaped area (approx. diam. 25m) enclosed by a bank with limekiln built into E face of enclosing feature of possible ringfort. Depicted as an irregularly shaped earthwork on the 1897 25-inch OS map indicating that the site had been partially quarried away between the two map dates. Present remains consist of modern farm buildings standing on the footprint of the earthwork with possible remains of curving bank to N visible on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13.

• LI006-102 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In gently undulating pasture, c. 1.5km to SE of the River Shannon. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified by Tracy Collins in 2006 during test trenching (Ministerial Direction Order A026/104, NRA Reg. E2308) prior to the construction of the Southern Limerick Ring-Road and excavated in the same year by Aidan Harte as part of Gortnalahagh Site 2 (Harte 2011, 4). The remains of this fulacht fiadh (6m x 5m; D 0.1m) consisted of a spread of burnt material which and covered a single trough which contained four stakeholes (Harte 2011, 4). A second burnt spread located c. 2.75m away covered an irregular-shaped pit. Radiocarbon dating of the site confirmed an Early Bronze Age date (ibid).

• LI006-104 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  In gently undulating pasture, c. 1.5km to SE of the River Shannon. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified by Tracy Collins in 2006 during test trenching (Ministerial Direction Order A026/180, NRA Reg. E2333) prior to the construction of the Southern Limerick Ring-Road and excavated in the same year by Aidan Harte as part of Sallymount 2 (Harte 2011, 4). The remains of a cremation pit, five possible postholes and a pit were identified during testing and further investigations revealed a second cremation pit, six pits, seven postholes, three spreads and nine stakeholes (Harte 2011, 4). The results of the excavation and radiocarbon dating of the site confirmed three phases of activity on site. The earliest was the cremation which dated to the Middle Bronze Age (ibid). The second phase of activity was from a spread concluded to be derived from a charcoal production mound kiln which confirmed a date during the Early Medieval period (ibid, 4-5). The third phase related to the post-medieval/early modern period and related to an agricultural function (ibid, 5). See attached location plan from excavation report.

• LI006-108 Enclosure
  Description

  In gently undulating pasture. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified by Aegis in 2006 during test trenching (Ministerial Direction Number A026, NRA Reg. E3420) prior to the construction of the Southern Limerick Ring-Road and excavated in 2007 by Patricia Long as part of Sallymount 1 (Long 2009, 4). This revealed extensive multi‐period activity spanning the Bronze Age through to the early medieval period (ibid, 3). Bronze Age activity was represented by a two pits, one of which contained a Late Bronze Age domestic vessel. This activity, along with several possibly associated pits and postholes, was centred towards the middle of the site. A subcircular-shaped Iron Age enclosure was identified in the NE part of the site. This comprised three segmented ditches separated by two causeways. Further Iron Age activity was identified to the S and SW, with the identification of a ninepost structure (Structure 1) associated with cereal processing and a linear ditch containing deliberate dumps of metalworking waste (ibid). The interior of the sub‐circular enclosure produced evidence of early medieval domestic activity in the form of a hearth, a four‐post structure (Structure 2) and numerous pits, post and stakeholes, some of which formed alignments (ibid). An early medieval curvilinear ditch truncated the S side of the enclosure and extended to SW, toward the Iron Age ditch containing the metalworking waste; an additional linear ditch truncated the western side of this earlier linear, subsequently forming a sub‐rectangular enclosure to W of the circular one. This enclosed numerous pits, post and stakeholes, as well as the Bronze Age activity described above. Two definite structures were identified immediately to S of this sub‐rectangular enclosure. The most westerly of these (Structure 3) was rectangular in plan and contained acentral smithing hearth associated with metalworking activities. To the east of this was a series of posthole rows (Structure 4) which surrounded two ‘dumb‐bell’‐shaped corn‐drying kilns. A large concentration of postholes and pit features were also identified in the SW area of the site. Although no definite arrangements could be identified it is believed that these features represent at least one possible structure (ibid). In addition to prehistoric pottery, two worked flints, two well manufactured whet stones and a number of corroded metal objects were recovered during the course of the excavation (ibid, 4). A large quantity of metalworking waste material consisting of ferrous slag and furnace lining fragments was also recovered (ibid). See attached location plan from excavation report.
