• ME038-070 Enclosure
  Description

  Located on the S-facing crest of a broad low hill and on the plateau to its N. An enclosure complex consisting of a rectangular enclosure with an internal square feature and attached external ditches, was identified just to the W of the route of the M3 motorway in a gradiometer survey (00R0064) by GBS Prospection (2001, 10) at Area 26, but the survey was limited to the area W of an existing NNE-SSW field boundary. The road just clipped the E edge of the rectangular enclosure which is preserved on the W side of the motorway. The rectangular enclosure is a large area (int. dims c. 60m E-W; c. 58m N-S) defined by substantial ditches (Wth c. 3m). The internal feature (int. dims c. 15m x c. 15m) is defined by a wide ditch (Wth c. 2-3m) and the interior of the larger enclosure is divided up by slighter ditches emanating from the smaller enclosure. Further light features enclose a circular or D-shaped area to the N which might be connected with some of the ditches of the field system (ME038-071008-) in the excavated area. During archaeological testing (04E0416) for the M3 motorway J. Dempsey (2004) was able to sample the E fosse (L 37.5m; Wth 1.6m; D 1.1m) of the outer enclosure but the only artefact recovered was a sherd of green-glazed pottery the its surface (excavations.ie 2004: 1242).

• ME038-071001 Ring-ditch
  Description

  Located on the S-facing crest of a broad low hill and on the plateau to its N. An enclosure complex consisting of a rectangular enclosure with an internal square feature and attached external ditches (ME038-070----), was identified just to the W of the route of the M3 motorway in a gradiometer survey (00R0064) by GBS Prospection (2001, 10), but the survey was limited to the area W of an existing NNE-SSW field boundary. The road just clipped the E edge of the rectangular enclosure which is preserved on the W side of the motorway. Archaeological centre-line testing (04E0416) by J. Dempsey (2004, 11-23) of the area to the E at Testing Area 2, Contract 2, prior to the construction of the motorway (excavations.ie: 2004:1242) was able to clarify the full archaeological potential of the area within the road-take. This area was completely excavated (E003061) by S. Rathbone as Garretstown 2 from March to December 2006 (excavations.ie 2006:1567; 2007:1317) when an area of 19,000 square metres was opened. Seven ring-ditches and seven kilns were completely excavated together with portions of the rectangular enclosure (ME038-070----) to the W and a rath (ME038-072----) to the E. Three broad periods are represented by the Middle Bronze Age ring-ditches from which no burial evidence was recovered, followed by the late Iron Age rectangular enclosure and by the use of the rath and kilns in the early medieval period. Situated at the S-facing crest of a broad low hill. This (44) is an almost perfectly circular area (int. diam. 13m; ext. diam. 18.4m) defined by a complete fosse (Wth of top 2.6m; max. D 1.3m). The five layers in the ditch contained large quantities of broken shale but negligible amounts of bone or charcoal, although a C14 date of 1653-1393 cal. BC has been derived trough OSL dating. It cannot be shown to have had a central mound or an outer bank, and the only artefacts recovered were a flint flake and a fragment of a possible stone axe. One pit in the interior was cut by later E-W ditches and only a small portion with a thin layer of burnt material including unidentified cremated bone on its base and sides survived. A pit (diam. 0.75m; D 0.45m) just to the SE and another pit (diam. 0.95m; D 0.45m) immediately to the NNE are probably related to it but produced no material.

• ME038-071002 Ring-ditch
  Description

  Located on the plateau of a broad low hill and 17m N of the ring-ditch (ME038-071001-). This (208) is a subrectangular rounded area (int. dims c. 8m x c. 8m) defined by a funnel-shaped fosse (Wth of top 3.45m; max. D 1.56) creating a circular external edge (ext. diam. 15.3-15.8m). Two basal layers in the fosse had a large proportion of shale, but the ditch was re-cut on almost the same line, and the fills of this fosse had a similar make-up. A second re-cut had a V-shaped section and its lower fills indicate a slower infilling, after which there was a steady accumulation. There were no internal features and the only artefact recovered was a scraper from the upper fill of the fosse. No bone occurred anywhere in the deposits.

• ME038-071008 Field system
  Description

  Located on the S-facing crest of a broad low hill and on the plateau to its N. Two E-W boundary ditches, placed c. 25-43m apart, cross the excavated area, converging at E and W but not meeting. They would seem to relate primarily to the rectangular enclosure to the W of the excavated area and to have been established in sections. The S boundary cuts the ring-ditch (ME038-071001-) and its E end is cut by the fosse of the rath (ME038-072----), while the N ditch truncates the ring-ditches (ME038-071004-) and (ME038-071005-) and connects with the fosse of the rath, although that sequence has not been fully resolved. The original S ditch (L 78m plus; max. Wth 4m; D c. 1.4m) was dated by OSL to 202-413 AD. It was re-cut three times, and a sherd of E-ware, dated to the sixth or seventh centuries AD, was recovered from its second re-cut, while a sherd of locally made high medieval pottery dating to the thirteenth or fourteenth century was recorded from the final re-cutting. The N ditch (L c. 104m; Wth c. 2.2m; D c. 0.8m) had two sterile fills, but a lens of charcoal in the upper fill yielded a C14 date of 357-50 cal. BC (BETA 246979), while an OSL date of 2-213 AD was provided by the topmost fill, from which a sherd of E-ware was also recovered. It appears to have cut the long but slight N-S gullies associated with the rath. From the SW edge of the excavation a V-shaped ditch (L 40m; max. Wth 2.4m; max. D 0.6m) arcs NE towards the S boundary but stops 1m from it. Its single fill was largely sterile, but a lens of charcoal-rich material near its base yielded a C14 date of 668-870 cal. AD (BETA 246980). This was the second iteration of the ditch and its earlier version produced a C14 date of 605-769 cal. AD (BETA 246981) and cut two rectangular pits in its base. One of the pits (dims 4.7m x 1.8m; D 0.6m) with rounded corners was cut through bedrock. It was aligned with the later ditch but was filled with sterile clay. Also, from the NW edge of the excavation a V-shaped ditch (L 40m; max. Wth c. 2m; max. D 1m) arcs SE towards the N boundary and connects with it. Animal bone from the top fill produced a C14 date of 695-967 cal. AD (BETA 246978).

  Description

  This kiln (14) is a keyhole-shaped feature (dims 2.12m E-W; 1.16m N-S; D 0.35m at E to 0.46m at W) that cut the S terminal of ring-ditch (ME038-071005-) and is c. 2m N of kiln (ME038-071010-). It is c. 35m NNE of the central barrow (ME038-071001-). The kiln had six fills, mostly thin charcoal-rich layers with burnt bone confined to the W bowl. A large quantity of cereal grains, overwhelmingly barley, was recovered. A sample of barley from the uppermost fill returned a date of 434-644 cal. AD (BETA 241299).

  Description

  This kiln (16) is an oval feature (dims 2.1m E-W; 1.2m N-S; D 0.65m) located c. 2m S of kiln (ME038-071009-) and c. 33m NNE of the central barrow (ME038-071001-). It is steep-sided with a fire-reddened base, particularly at its W end. The kiln had nine distinct fills, but two periods of use separated by a deliberate infilling could be distinguished. Barley predominated in both, although wheat was appearing in the second. A sample of barley from the basal fill returned a date of 422-596 cal. AD (BETA 241298).

• ME038-071011 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  This kiln (52) is located at the N end of the W section of ditch from the ring-ditch (ME038-071007-) and c. 20m N of the central barrow (ME038-071001-). It is presumed that the kiln cut through the ditch but this is not absolutely certain. The kiln is an oval feature (dims 2.05m NW-SE; 1.45m NE-SW) with only two fills, and only small traces of charcoal. Two barley grains were recovered from it, and these produced a C14 date of 409-575 cal. AD (BETA 246970). The kiln overlay an earlier kiln (66) which was an oval pit (dims 2.15m NW-SE; 0.6m NE-SW; with vertical sides around the deeper NW end. The upper fills were burnt from the kiln above but all the fills contained charcoal and burnt clay. The lowest fill provided a C14 date of 420-601 cal. AD (BETA 246971). Two vertical cuts (diam. 0.25m) ran through the hardened upper deposits and were filled with softer clays with charcoal, charred barley grains and occasional burnt animal bone. A sample of barley from this produced a date of 427-609 cal. AD (BETA 246971).

  Description

  There were nine pits (diam. 0.54m; D 0.08m to dims 2.25m x 1.3m; D 0.2m) in the excavated area that could not be stratigraphically associated with other features, but their fills generally contained some charcoal, animal bone or burnt clay. Three of them, from which samples were submitted, returned Iron Age dates. A small pit (diam. 0.66m; D 0.15m) yielded a C14 date of 398-206 cal. BC (BETA 246972). Of three intercutting pits, the second (dims 2m x 0.8m; max. D 0.44m) produced radiocarbon dates of 161-68 cal. BC (BETA 246977) from its middle fill and 86-334 cal. AD (BETA 246976) from its final layer. The S end of this pit was cut by an oval pit (dims 1.2m x 0.85m; max. D 0.38m), and a sample of willow charcoal from its bottom layer provided a C14 date of cal. 88 BC - 124 cal. AD (BETA 246975).

• ME038-072 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on the S-facing crest of a broad low hill and on the plateau to its N. An enclosure complex consisting of a rectangular enclosure with an internal square feature and attached external ditches (ME038-070----), was identified just to the W of the route of the M3 motorway in a gradiometer survey (00R0064) by GBS Prospection (2001, 10), but the survey was limited to the area W of an existing NNE-SSW field boundary. The road just clipped the E edge of the rectangular enclosure which is preserved on the W side of the motorway. Archaeological centre-line testing (04E0416) by J. Dempsey (2004, 11-23) of the area to the E at Testing Area 2, Contract 2, prior to the construction of the motorway (excavations.ie: 2004:1242) was able to clarify the full archaeological potential of the area within the road-take. This area was completely excavated (E003061) by S. Rathbone as Garretstown 2 from March to December 2006 (excavations.ie 2006:1567; 2007:1317) when an area of 19,000 square metres was opened. Seven ring-ditches and seven kilns were completely excavated together with portions of the rectangular enclosure (ME038-070----) to the W and a rath (ME038-072----) to the E. Three broad periods are represented by the Middle Bronze Age ring-ditches from which no burial evidence was recovered, followed by the late Iron Age rectangular enclosure and by the use of the rath and kilns in the early medieval period. The rath is situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a broad hill. About one third of the interior (int. diam. c. 37.5m; ext. diam. c. 47.4m) was excavated at the E edge of the excavated area. Its earliest ditch was funnel-shaped (Wth of top c. 3m; D c. 1.9m) and two layers are assigned to it. A sample of a cattle mandible retrieved from the upper fill yielded a C14 date of 647-779 cal. AD (BETA 220138), while the primary cut was dated by OSL to AD 497-707. South of the point where it cuts the S boundary of the field system it is accompanied by two smaller, ditches (Wth 1.7m; max. D 0.9m: Wth c. 1.12m; max. D 0.8m) with sterile fills on its inner side but the relationships of all these ditches are not established. The rath ditch was re-cut (Wth c. 3.4m; D c. 0.9-1.5m), revealing rectangular pits (dims 1.6m x 0.5m; D 0.8m: 1.3m x 0.5m; D 0.7m; 2.9m x 0.8m; D 0.2m) in its base running in the same line as the rath ditch and with sterile fills. One of these pits cut an even earlier pit (dims 3.5m x 2m; max. D 1.3m). (Rathbone 2009, 12-14) West of the rath ditch and N of the S boundary of the large field ditches a gully (Wth c. 0.6m; D 0.2m) extended N (L 80m plus) but its intersection with the boundary ditch was obscured by a kiln (ME038-071014-), although it clearly turned W at this point to form a new S edge of the fields. The N-S gully was replaced by another N-S gully (L 25.5m) that turned E (L 19.5m plus) at its N end and bifurcated at its S end, sending an arm E (Wth c. 1.2m; D c. 0.5m) to be cut by the fosse of the rath and another branch SW to debouch into the S boundary. Another tributary extended E towards the rath (L 13m).
