  Description

  Situated in the valley of the NNW-SSE meandering River Tolka with a W-E section of the stream immediately to the S. Archaeological centre-line testing (04E0489) by R. O’Hara of Testing Area 5, Contract 1, prior to the construction of the M3 motorway identified a burnt stone spread (excavations.ie: 2004:1191) that was fully excavated (E003028) by L. Clarke as Bracetown 1 in August 2005. It consisted of a crescent-shaped mound (dims 15.25m NW-SE; 8m NE-SW; max. D 0.34m) of heat-shattered stones, flecks of charcoal and charcoal-stained clay with some smaller detached portions. Some burnt bone and animal bone was recovered from the mound as well as a piece of polished bone and a chert blade. Most of the identified animal bone is from cattle but one dog bone was present. The mound was interleaved with alluvial deposits that sealed a smaller burnt mound (dims 1.5m x 1m). Beneath the large mound were two shallow depressions and a probable trough (dims 1.16m x 0.78m; D 0.29m), all filled with broken and burnt stone. A sample from the lower mound produced a C14 date of 2135-1908 cal. BC while a sample from the large mound yielded a determination of 1387-1129 cal. BC.
