Recorded monuments

• LI013-009006 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated 4.5m E of a field boundary, in flat pasture. The monument is heavily masked by scrub vegetation. The monument is a rectangular depression ( L 3.4m N-S; Wth. 2.6m E-W) much obscured by bramble overgrowth. The first two in a series of steps (L 0.5m; Wth. 0.2m; D 0.3m) are visible in the N edge of the depression descending from N to W. The well has been filled-in with rubble to a depth of c. 0.7m from ground level. The well was archaeologically excavated by Eachtra under licence No. 04E0414 in 2005 but no dating evidence or associated artefacts were recovered. Described in 2005 as following; 'The well was in a dilapidated condition, surviving as a depression filled with loose stones and debris which was heavily overgrown. O’Connor (2003) stated that in the past a low wall had surrounded the well, evidenced by a photograph taken in 1907, but the wall no longer exists. The well is near to the western boundary of a field where a relict pilgrim path had run between Mungret Abbey and Templemungret. A painting called Blind Girl at the Holy Well by the 19th-century artist Frederick Burton, whose father owned land immediately south of Mungret Abbey, was reportedly inspired by Toberpatrick and may provide evidence of the ‘cures’ or traditions associated with the well. The sod was removed back from the well walls in two locations and showed that the original cutting of the well was c. 1m wider than where the walls were built. It appeared that, once the walls had been built, larger limestone was backfilled behind them. Therefore, the well is a roughly square revetted void that contains a smaller subcircular holy well, with internal measurements of 2.4m by 2.8m, on its western base. All stones used in the construction were of local grey sandstone and varied in size. The walls of the holy well survived to varying degrees. The well was cleared to a maximum depth of 1.25m. It was best preserved in the south-western side, where up to seven courses were visible. No artefacts were recovered from the material that was removed from the holy well void. Furthermore, no secure ecofactual evidence was discovered and as a result the date of holy well construction, use and disuse remain unknown. The holy well site probably originates from domestic usage in the medieval period due to its proximity to the ecclesiastical complex, only later to develop into a site with religious significance. Alternatively, it could hold origins earlier than the medieval period, as many such sites held pagan significance long before the coming of Christianity'. Ó Danachair (1955, 214) recorded the following details about this holy well; ‘Toberpatrick on 1840 map. A well about eight feet square and seven feet deep, with a flight of steps leading down to water level. No devotions now. "There are no stations performed here". OSNB. Legends: The well lost its virtues when a woman washed clothes in it'. See attached photo taken in 1954 by Caoimhín Ó Danachair, courtesy of and © National Folklore Collection, UCD.

• LI013-009007 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  In 1992, as part of an archaeological assessment by Celie 0 Rahilly a single cut was made in which pits, a possible stone feature, charcoal and bone were noted. Owing to their presence, although no datable finds were recovered, the proposed development was relocated and the site back-filled. These features are probably associated with the nearby monastic and urban settlement of Mungret (CO013-009----). http://www.excavations.ie/Pages/Details.php?Year=&County=Limerick&id=3115 Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 5 February 2013

• LI013-225 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  A corn drying kiln identified by Jacinta Kiely during archaeological monitoring prior to the construction of a housing development carried out under Licence No. 04E0414 (Kiely 2005). The site was excavated under an extension to the licence in 2005. A circular pit (LI013-226----) c. 25m to the SW and a holy well (LI013-009006-) c. 255m to the S were also excavated. The corn-drying kiln was located ‘at the eastern side of field 2 and is bounded by the R512 on the east’ (Kiely 2005). The results of the excavation are described as following; ‘The kiln construction was represented by two conjoined cuts, a drying chamber and flue, respectively. The drying chamber was sub­rectangular, 2.22m by 1.46m by 0.37m, and orientated east–west. The sides were steep to vertical and broke gradually to a flat but irregular base. The remaining depth of the cut, after modern truncation, was 0.37m. Five fills were recorded in the cut. Seven stake-holes were positioned at the internal corners of the drying chamber and were found underneath a charcoal/ash layer. The stakes would presumably have supported a rack on which cereal grains, etc., could have been dried. They may also have supported outer walls or coverings. The flue consisted of a linear cut, 3.57m long, which extended south from the drying chamber. It was severely truncated by ploughing and only a depth of 0.12m remained in places. Where best preserved, the flue was 0.61m deep and 0.32m wide. There was no evidence of the flue lining and the base was concave. As the flue ran north the base rose sharply, c. 0.4m, from the drying chamber. This can only have acted as a baffle to prevent the continuation of sparks into the chamber. There was no evidence of in situ burning or a firing area within the flue. The absence of a definable hearth area within the flue and the location of the stake-holes within the drying chamber would all appear to suggest a trial or prototype kiln. The kiln may not have been effective at this location, or perhaps the flue was aligned erroneously, thus leading to the change in position of the flue. The absence of a firing area would seem to support this hypothesis. The kiln is likely to date to the medieval period, on grounds of morphology, and radiocarbon dates are forthcoming. Two cuts were made prior to the construction of the kiln. The first of these was subrectangular in plan with rounded corners and measured 3.38m by 0.62m by 0.36m. It had five fills, four of which had charcoal inclusions. An animal tooth was recovered from one of the fills. It is possible that the upper fills of the cut relate to the later construction of the kiln flue, whether they served to stabilise the ground here or were directly upcast from the cut. There was no evidence to suggest that this pit had remained open for any significant period of time or that it had served any clear function before being backfilled. The second pit cut was similar and was truncated by the drying chamber cut at its southern end. While irregular in plan, a general north–south orientation was discernible and it measured 1.2m by 0.76m by 0.18m. The single fill of this cut contained charcoal flecks and fragments of animal bone. The relationship between this cut and that of the drying chamber was not altogether clear and so could be interpreted in two ways: that the drying chamber is later and cut through this pit or that both cuts are contemporaneous but this pit was backfilled and disused.’ (www.excavations.ie 2005:1017, Kiely 2005).

  Description

  A small pit identified by J. Kiely during archaeological testing prior to the construction of a housing estate carried out under Licence No. 04E0414 (Kiely 2004). The remains of a corn drying kiln (LI013-225----) c. 20m to the NW and a holy well (LI013-009006 ----) c. 215m to the S were also excavated. The pit was revealed in Field 2, and was located ‘13m from the S end of trench 6’ and the results were summarised as following; ‘An isolated circular pit was recorded c. 25m south of the kiln, measuring 0.3m in diameter, with a maximum depth of 0.15m. A chert scraper was included in the fill’ (www.excavations.ie 2004:No. 1030, Kiley 2007, 248) Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 30 June 2020

  Description

  Archaeological features were identified by John Kavanagh and Peadar Quine during testing (Licence 07E0350) in advance of a housing development located approx. 300m NW of Mungret ecclesiastical site (LI013-009008-). 35 test trenches were excavated in an area identified as Site 1 (Kavanagh & Quine 2007 1134). ‘Testing uncovered archaeologically significant remains in fourteen trenches, concentrated primarily across the eastern half of the development site. These remains consisted primarily of agricultural activity such as ploughmarks and disused gullies and ditches. A total of four pits, two post-holes and a keyhole-shaped kiln were also identified ’ (www.excavations.ie 2007, Site No. 1134). 87 test trenches (License 07E0351) were excavated in an area identified as Site II (Kavanagh & Quine 2007 1135). ‘The archaeological activity identified was concentrated along the north and north-eastern area of the proposed development site. The majority of the features identified were the remains of plough furrows and gullies associated with past agricultural activities. However, a total of thirteen pits, two kilns and five post-holes were identified and these suggest possible habitation or industrial use of the area. The recovery of iron slag and medieval pottery from several features may also be indicative of small-scale industrial activity generally associated with medieval ecclesiastical sites’ (www.excavations.ie 2007, Site No. 1135).

• LI013-242001 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Archaeological testing undertaken by Goorik Dehaene (Licence 07E0369) in advance of a housing development located approx. 75m NW of Mungret ecclesiastical site (LI013-009008-). The results of the testing were summarised as following; ‘Fifteen parallel test-trenches were excavated at intervals of 8–11m. The trenches totalled 2413m. All fifteen trenches contained some archaeological material. Thirty-eight individual features were identified. These features comprise a souterrain, a possible kiln, 26 pits and ten linear features. These 38 features have been summarised into eight groups. Group 1 contains two pits in the north-west of the site. The pits are adjacent to each other, suggesting a common function. Group 2 comprises a single linear feature aligned east–west and extending over six trenches in the centre of the site. The feature is probably a relict field boundary. Group 3 is two pits in the west of the site. Group 4 is two pits and two linear features, extending over three trenches in the north of the site. An arc was extrapolated from one of the linear features which produced a diameter of 37m. This group may represent an enclosure located at the highest position of the site. Group 5 is similar to Group 4. A similar arc was extrapolated from a curvilinear feature that produced a diameter of 20m. This group of features was located to the east of Group 4 in the north-east of the site. Group 6 includes three pits and a linear feature in the east of the site. Group 7 is a souterrain, a possible kiln, associated pits and a linear feature. These features were located in the centre of the site. The souterrain was identified by an intact ‘drop-hole’ with a chamber extending northwards. No further investigation of the souterrain was conducted. It is assumed that the pits, kiln and linear feature are associated with the souterrain activity. Group 8 is similar to Groups 4 and 5. A circle was plotted based on three pit-type features. Should these small pits comprise post-holes (the remnants of upright wooden posts) it is probable that a circular hut-type structure with an estimated diameter of 10m is represented’ (www.excavations.ie 2007, Site No. 1151).

It is assumed that the pits, kiln and linear feature are associated with the souterrain activity’(www.excavations.ie 2007, Site No. 1151; Dehaene 2010, 303).
