## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- MA096-028: Metalworking site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA096-028----. This metalworking site was excavated (92E0120) over two seasons in 1992 and 1993 (Grant and Longhran, 1993; 1994). It consists of a small circular enclosure (int. diam. 4.2m) defined by an earthen bank faced internal and external with large stones, and enclosed by a fosse. The bank incorporated several layers of ash and burnt earth, which appeared to be redeposited material from the interior. In the centre of the interior, there was a deposit of charcoal and heavily compacted baked clay. Several pits were uncovered, two of which contained charcoal and iron slag. A stone-based trench, of unknown function, extended for c. 8m from interior at E though a small gap in the bank at N then turned sharply to extend westward along the exterior of the bank. A large quantity of iron slag was found throughout the interior. The recovery of furnace bottoms suggested the presence of a furnace on site but no definite evidence of this structure was found. The excavators interpreted the site as an ironworking site, with evidence indicative of both smithing and smelting activities, and the structure may have been built primarily for that function (Grant, pers. comm. 2011). Samples for radiocarbon analysis produced dates of 1024+/- 30 AD and 1054 +\- 20 AD (Grant, pers. comm. 2011). The site is extant as it was only partially excavated. The excavated areas were reinstated. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload:26 February 2015

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.
