• ME044-049001 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Situated in a low-lying area at the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope, with a SW-NE section of the Skane River just to the SE. Centre-line testing (04E0481) by T. O’Neill (2004) in Testing Area 19 of the M3 (excavations.ie 2004:1225) identified a spread of broken and burnt stone that was fully excavated (E003049) by H. Schweitzer in February 2006 as Drumree 1 when the remains of a fulacht fia and two kilns (ME044-049002-) were recorded (excavations.ie 2006:1551). Two palaeo-channels ran just to the N and S of the excavated area. A spread of broken and burnt stone (dims 3.14m E-W; 2.67m N-S; max. D 0.14m) was 1.5m NW of a rectangular trough (dims 1.1m x 1.08m; max. D 0.37m) and a small pit (dims 0.45m x 0.37m; D 0.08m) filed with charcoal and cremated bone. A sample of hazel from the pit produced a C14 date of 2120-1780 cal. BC. Other spreads (dims 8m x 1.75m; T 0.18m: 2.36m x 0.63m; T 0.07: 2.2m x 2m; T 0.1m) of silty clays with heat-shattered stone were c. 5m W and NW of the trough and even small pits with burnt mound material in the excavated area are probably the last remnants of a destroyed fulacht fia. Numerous post and stake-holes were c. 2-5m to the SE of the trough but no pattern was discernible and it is not possible to relate them stratigraphically to the trough, although they are probably contemporary. Five flints were recovered from the topsoil, constituting the only artefacts recovered.

• ME044-049002 Kiln
  Description

  Situated in a low-lying area at the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope, with a SW-NE section of the Skane River just to the SE. Centre-line testing (04E0481) by T. O’Neill (2004) in Testing Area 19 of the M3 (excavations.ie 2004:1225) identified a spread of broken and burnt stone that was fully excavated (E003049) by H. Schweitzer in February 2006 as Drumree 1 when the remains of a fulacht fia (ME044-049001-) and two kilns were recorded (excavations.ie 2006:1551). Two palaeo-channels ran just to the N and S of the excavated area. In the NW of the excavated area were two kilns. One (dims 1.63m x 0.93m; max. D 0.31m) was rectangular and aligned NW-SE, with in situ burning at its centre, and burnt bone in the primary of two deposits. The other (dims 1.69m x 0.85-0.95m. D 0.12-0.28m) was just 0.5m to the S and aligned E-W. It was of figure-of-eight form with a clearly distinguishable flue and slight evidence of burning in the W bowl. A hearth (diam. 1m; D 0.2m) with a fire-reddened base was c. 4m to the NE and a larger fire-pit (dims 1.04m x 0.95m; D 0.45m) 7m to the NE had a fire-reddened base and fills of charcoal-rich silts and material from the slumped sides.
