Description
Uncovered during monitoring of top soil stripping prior to the development of the technology park (Excavation Licence 94E0440 ext.). Remains of two Bronze Age structures were excavated. Structure 1 was made up of two rings of post-holes forming a sub-circular shape (8m x 9m).

A number of concentrations of postholes not forming any definite pattern were located outside the structures. Large sherds of coarse Bronze Age pottery were found in the postholes both within and outside the structures. (McLoughlin 2000, 214) Reference: McLoughlin, C. 2000 Mullagharlin/Haggardstown, Dundalk.

Description
Uncovered during monitoring of top soil stripping prior to the development of the technology park (Excavation Licence 98E0440 ext.). Damaged by machine action before excavation commenced. Walls were constructed of roughly coursed drystone and the roof where it survived was composed of a mixture of lintels and corbelling. Three distinct passages were identified. The entrance passage (L 3m) ran E-W then it turned in a N-S direction (L 7m; avg Wth 1m; H 1m) and off this there was a passage running in an E-W direction (L 5m) and curving gently towards the N. A chamber was situated at the end of the N-S passage and a second one at the end of the second E-W passage. The latter chamber (2.5m N-S; 1.5m E-W; max. H 1.5m) was an intact beehive shaped corbelled chamber. Finds included an amber bead, a possible loom weight, half a possible lignite bracelet, several metal objects and a quantity of animal bone.

Description
Discovered during archaeological test trenching (Excavation Licence No. 01E0015). A number of ditches were exposed along with wall foundations, a hearth, pits, spreads of burning and charcoal deposits. Finds recovered included a fragment of Souterrain ware pottery, shell remains and fragments of human and animal bone. The evidence produced from these test trenches has led the excavator to suggest that it may represent a possible multi-period enclosed settlement site. (Moore 2001).

- LH012-069001 Ringfort - rath
Description
Discovered as a result of land reduction for development (Excavation Licence No. 95E0126). Prior to arrival of an archaeologist on site, the capstones of a souterrain (LH012-069002-) had been disturbed causing it to collapse in on itself. A number of trenches were excavated around the souterrain to reveal an enclosing ditch with a diam. of c. 30m. The ditch was not evident in the S, leading to the suggestion that this was perhaps the location of the entrance. The fill contained a large quantity of bone and shell.

- LH012-069002 Souterrain
Description
Situated below ringfort (LH012-069001-). Discovered as a result of land reduction for a development (Excavation Licence No. 95E0126). Prior to the arrival of an archaeologist on site, the capstones had been disturbed causing it to collapse in on itself. A passageway ran E-W for 10m, then it turned S and continued for 11m leading to a collapsed chamber. The walls of the passage were of drystone construction using shale and slate.

- LH012-070 Midden
Description
Uncovered during archaeological monitoring (Excavation Licence No. 99E0683). Consisted of a layer of compact shells (c. 4m E-W, c. 1.5m N-S; max. D 0.2m.). (O' Carroll 2000, 184). Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 19 April 2012
- LH012-071 Kiln - corn-drying
Description
Discovered during archaeological monitoring (Excavation Licence No. 99E0683). Initially exposed as a spread of burnt soil. Excavation revealed a keyhole shaped kiln with an overall L of 4.6m. There was a circular bowl at one end (max. diam. 1.1m) and a flue (3.5m x 0.6m) at the other end. Its walls were constructed of layers of local sandstone and limestone and occasional vertical stone slabs. The floor of the flue was composed of thin stone slabs, some of which were heavily fire damaged. The bowl was floored with compact marl laid on natural gravels. The fill of the kiln was complex and it appeared as if the kiln itself was perhaps inserted into a pre-existing field boundary. No diagnostic finds were recovered within the original fill of the kiln. (O' Carroll 2000, 184-5) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 19 April 2012
- LH012-072 Excavation - miscellaneous
Description
Discovered during archaeological monitoring (Excavation Licence 99E0683). Two pits filled with burnt soil and heat shattered stones.

Description
Discovered during pre-development excavation (Excavation Licence No. 00E0132). Two spreads (12m x 12m and 10m x 4m) of charcoal rich clay with concentrations of heat shattered stones were initially identified. Excavation uncovered three troughs and three postholes which were contained in one large cut. The only diagnostic find was a single sherd of E ware pottery from the upper fill of one of the troughs.

- LH012-074 Fulacht fia
Description
Discovered during pre-development test excavation (Excavation Licence No. 98E0440 ext.). The remains of a ploughed out fulacht fia with a max. D of 0.4m were identified. Four pits were excavated, the largest of which probably functioned as a trough (c. 3m x 1.35m; max. D 0.4m). (McLoughlin 2000, 213) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of uplaod: 20 April 2012
- LH012-085 Souterrain
Description
Discovered in September 2003 during construction work for a housing development. Destroyed prior to inspection by the NMS or NMI. Recorded by Micheál McKeown before destruction as a trapezoidal shaped passage (Wth at floor level c. 0.9m; Wth at roof level c. 0.4m, H 0.9m-1.1m) leading out of a beehive chamber (diam. c. 1.3m, H c. 1.6m). The passage ran initially in a northerly direction for c. 8m and then curved towards the NE and continued for c. 7.3m where it was blocked by collapsed soil and stone. A recess was noted on both the E and W wall c. midway along the passage and also on either side of the junction of the passage and chamber. Finds included a sherd of pottery and a piece of flint.

- LH012-087 Souterrain
Description
Discovered in the garden of a residential house during building and landscaping work. The upper passage which runs in an E-W direction for 3.5m was initially exposed but all the lintels were missing. At the end of this passage is a small beehive chamber (diam. c. 1.25m; H 1.5m) and a drop-home entrance into a lower chamber with a shelf on three sides surrounding the drop hole. The lower passage (L 7m, H c. 1.2m) initially runs in an E-W direction before turned slightly S and tapering out to form a second chamber (diam 1.65m, H 1.4m). Drystone built from random local stone. Animal bones, shells and six pieces of flint were recovered from the structure. Not possible to examine the full extent of the structure, but it is believed to extend under the present Seafield Road.

- LH012-115 Souterrain
Description
This souterrain was discovered in September 1999 in the course of landscaping the garden of a newly-constructed house. The ground collapsed at the SE end of the W of four linked passages (see attached plan) of an extensive souterrain. Built of drystone construction using field stones in the make-up and roofed with slab lintels, the walls show evidence of corbelling especially in the upper courses. Each of the four passages will be described in turn beginning with that at the W. Passage 1: This is the tallest and widest of the four passages. Orientated NW-SE it is rectangular in plan (L 9.65m x c. 1.1m W; H 1.68m with a slightly curved end wall at the SE. The ground is relatively level except for the build-up of collapse at both ends. Passage 2: This is accessed over a raised clay step at the southern end of Passage 1. There is a sharp descent into this passage which curves slightly on a N-S axis (L 7.2m x c. 0.7m W; H 1.30m). The passage constricts midway along and expands at the junction with Passage 3 where a ventilation shaft opens into its N end. Passage 3: This is accessed from the N end of Passage 2. It consists of a curved passage (L 12m x 0.7m W; H 1.25m) which runs on an E-W axis and terminates in a sub-rectangular chamber-like area incorporating a drop-hole creep to Passage 4. The upper courses of the terminal chamber wall are corbelled. Passage 4: This is accessed from the E end of Passage 3. The passage (L 6.3m x c. 0.65m W; H 1.60m) runs on a WNW-ESE axis and narrows midway along its length. The floor is level and the E end is blocked by collapse. LH012-115----_01.jpg.
