• MA042-047 Weir - fish
  Description

  Located in an intertidal peat bed at the W end of Dugort beach, on the N coast of Achill Island. This row of timber stakes, exposed by coastal erosion, was first noted in June 2015, and was surveyed by Achill Archaeological Field School in July 2015. The stakes protrude from a layer of intertidal peat which also incorporates numerous preserved tree trunks, roots and branches. Amidst the profusion of natural timber remains, eighteen man-made timber stakes have been positively identified, and a further twelve possible stakes were noted. The stake row (L 5.75m of positively identified stakes; L c. 17m including possible examples) is oriented NE–SW. The stakes, which barely protrude above the surface of the peat layer, range in diameter from 3cm to 6cm. The distance between individual stakes ranges from 0.2m to 0.6m, with the majority set 0.2-0.3m apart. It may be the remains of a fish trap or weir, erected to exploit the mouth of a stream which in the past flowed into the intertidal zone. Alternatively, if the stakes predate the inundation of the peat layer by rising sea levels, then the stake row may represent the remains of a fence. (Pers. comm.

• MA043-002 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Situated at the tip of a low triangular headland in an area of poorly drained rough grassland and scrub along the N shore of Achill. The site is overlooked by gently rising ground to the S. The view from the site is panoramic and the fort is surrounded by sheer cliffs on three sides. Unmarked on any OS map and was described by Westropp (1914a, 304-5) who called it 'Porteen', after a nearby cove. A broad north facing headland measuring 27m E-W by 12m N-S is defended by two curving banks and ditches. The inner bank is round topped and steep sided along the west becoming less clear towards the W. It averages 4m to 5m in width and 1.2m high above the ditch. It is 0.4m higher than the level of the interior and has no entrance gap. A shallow flat bottomed ditch runs along the outer edge of the bank. It averages 3m in width and slopes gently down to the W. It is waterlogged at the eastern end where its inner edge becomes indistinct. A faint rise in the base of the ditch near the western end suggests a causewayed entrance. The 5m wide 0.5m high earthen outer bank diminishes to 3m at either end. It is round topped and though several large boulders can be seen in its make-up, there is no trace of any revetting. A 1.4m wide breach 8m from the western end corresponds to the rise in the inner ditch and may be the remains of a causewayed entrance gap. The eastern edge of this bank was disturbed by a later field fence. The outermost ditch is wet and shallow, being only 0.3m below the outer ground level. It is visible mainly as a 2m wide band of dark vegetation and was disturbed at either end by later field walls. The wet interior of the site is featureless except where some undulations where scraw has been removed. It slopes gently down to the east.
