• ME025-095001 House - 17th century
  Description

  Situated on the top and W-facing slope of a slight rise of bedrock in a gently undulating landscape. A geophysical survey (11R0049) of an extensive area (c. 10 ha) in Alaxander Reid and Bailis townlands by J. M. Leigh identified five potential archaeological areas. Targeted archaeological testing (11E0240) by F. Walsh (2015) demonstrated that three were relatively modern features (excavations.ie 2011:467) but structures in Area A and an enigmatic enclosure in Area D required closer scrutiny. In Area A the testing identified the remains of a post-medieval plot with at least one building. The area was further excavated (16E0449) by S. McGlade (excavationis.ie 2019:476) in 2017 when elements of a medieval field system (ME025-095004-), a post-medieval house-site (ME025-095001-), water cisterns (ME025-095002-), and a corn-drying kiln (ME025-095003-) were recorded in a relatively small area (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 60m E-W). From the artefacts recovered the house would seem to have been abandoned and the landscape levelled off by c. 1720. (McGlade and Ruddy 2019) The house was a D-shaped structure (ext. dims 6m NE-SW; c. 5.5m NW-SE) defined by clay walls (Wth c. 0.7-0.8m) and it was situated at the crest of the rise. It had two rooms with a NE-SW dividing wall, and the rooms were distinguished as a beaten clay floor over bedrock in the SE (dims 6m x 2.2m) chamber and as a foundation trench with a high lime content in the NW room. No doorways were recognised but a hearth with edging stones was against the NW wall of the SE room. The clay floor contained post-medieval ceramics, glass and a coin identified as an Angel of Charles I dating 1625-1649 that had a value of ten shillings. There was a cobbled area (dims c. 4.5m x c. 4.5m) about 3m NE of the house. The terminal of a ditch which yielded one medieval and several post-medieval pottery sherds was just SW of the house. An oval pit (dims 7.06m NE-SW; 1.67m NW-SE; D 0.65m) with fragments of brick in its fill had been cut to provide a foundation for a double-faced L-shaped wall (L 1.93m; Wth 1.12m; H 0.52m). This was bonded with clay mortar and was complete as both ends were also faced. A trench (L 3m plus) extending NE in line with the wall yielded a bone button, a small iron key, a clay-pipe stem and post-medieval potsherds. These features, together with deposits of stone in natural hollows, indicate that the area was deliberately cleared of structures at a subsequent time, probably to facilitate commercial cereal growing.

• ME025-095002 Cistern
  Description

  About 25m to the N of the house (ME025-095001-) was a slight hollow (diam. c. 12m; max. D 0.9m at S) that was open to the W, and at the N edge of the excavated area, c. 45m NNW of the house was a cereal-drying kiln (ME025-095003-). In the hollow was a series of pits and channels centred on an E-W ditch (L c. 20m; Wth 0.6-1.6m; D 0.4-1.2m) that had been widened in its central section and turned SW at its W end. The channel was the last iteration of a medieval drain that extended off to the SW as part of the field system (ME025-095004-). Subsoil was cut deeper on the N side of this trench in the central area, and the pits and channels on this side were cut deeper than those on the S. An elongated pit (dims 4.4m E-W; 0.7m N-S; D 0.8m) on the N side was connected by a channel to a smaller but deeper pit (diam. 1.2m; D 0.4-1.25m) to its W. Another pit (dims 2m x 1.3m; D 0.8m) at the W edge communicated with the E-W channel but was also connected by a separate channel (L 5.4m; Wth 0.4m; D 0.4m) to a smaller pit (diam. 1.2-1.3m; D 0.6m) further N. This channel had been partially back-filled to flow N and was clay-lined to retain water. On the S side of the E-W channel were two shallower pits (dims 2m x 1.5m; D 0.2m: 3m x 2.5m; D 0.4m), the smaller of which was connected with the channel. All these pits had been used for the storage and channelling of water and functioned as cisterns. All the features were backfilled at the same time with a clay deposit that contained animal bone, brick fragments and sherds of post-medieval pottery and glass.

• ME025-095003 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  The corn-drying kiln had been identified in the archaeological testing, and it occupied the N edge of a large cut (max. dims 12.7m N-S; 5.2m E-W; D 0.5m) in the subsoil. It consisted of a stone-lined bulb-shaped pit (int. dims 4.14m E-W; 3.16m N-S; D 0.5m) with an opening to the E where it widens outwards (Wth 0.55-1.05m). The wall is double-faced with a clay core (Wth 2.1-2.4m) at S but the facing is set into the edge of the cut on the N side. The exposed bedrock at the centre had been scorched red, and was covered by a thin layer of silty clay that produced post-medieval pottery, glass and animal bone. The upper fill of silty clay had similar material. Within the cut to the S were several deposits of charcoal-rich material that was probably rake-out from the kiln. (McGlade and Ruddy 2019, 29-31) See the attached plans from McGlade and Ruddy 2019 (figs P 33, 29) _01 site plan; _02 Kiln plan; Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 13 April, 2023 McGlade, S. and Ruddy, S. 2019 Excavation of Site A, Bailis, & Monitoring Alexander Reid, Navan.

• ME025-095004 Field system
  Description

  Just W of the corn-drying kiln (ME025-095003-) and the cistern area (ME025-095002-) an L-shaped gully (L c. 50m; Wth 1.2-1.4m; D 0.1-0.4m) runs NNW-SSE (L 48m) and turns SW (L 10m) just N of the major E-W channel of the cistern area where it ends. The single fill of silty clay yielded a clay pipe stem, and although its full extent cannot be gauged it is thought to enclose a small plot to the W. Its SW section ran parallel to and just N of an earlier ditch (L 15m plus; Wth 2.3m; D 0.5m) that turned NW at its W end while its NE end emerged from but was earlier than the major E-W ditch in the cistern area. Three cuts of this ditch were identified and although sherds of medieval pottery were scarce, post-medieval material was entirely absent and this is thought to be the remnant of a medieval field system. Archaeological testing (22E0165) by S. McGlade just to the SW produced no related material (excavations.ie 2022:094). (McGlade and Ruddy 2019, 34-36) See the attached site plan from McGlade and Ruddy (2019, P 33) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 13 April 2023 McGlade, S. and Ruddy, S. 2019 Excavation of Site A, Bailis, & Monitoring Alexander Reid, Navan.
