• ME050-047 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  Situated in the N-S valley of the meandering Tolka River, with the original stream c. 50m to the W. Archaeological centre-line testing (04E0489) by R. O’Hara prior to the construction of the M3 motorway identified a cobbled surface (excavations.ie: 2004:1191) that was further excavated (E003030) by L. Clarke (excavations.ie 2005:AD12) as Loughsallagh 1. The road surface, consisting of cobbles set in a compact grey/brown stoney layer (Wth 10m plus; T 0.3m), extended NNE-SSW beyond the excavation limits at N and S, and its E edge was not exposed. It was accompanied by a drain (Wth of top 2.1m; D 0.48m) filled with grey brown silty clays on its W side. A thin dark brown silty clay layer (max. T 0.22m) separated this surface from an earlier metaled surface (Wth 5.5m; max. T 0.15m) that had a drain (Wth of top 1.9m; D 0.48m) filled with brown/grey silty clay on the W side. Some metal fragments were recovered but none are diagnostic. Although the road is not precisely represented at this point on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map both road surfaces are post-medieval in date and are earlier iterations of the ‘old’ road from Dublin to Dunshaughlin (R147).

• ME050-049001 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Located on a fairly level landscape. A gradiometer survey (17R0229) by Target Archaeological Geophysics of an extensive development area of c. 75 ha in the townlands of Loughsallagh, Portan, and Gunnocks, identified numerous anomalies of potential archaeological interest. Targeted archaeological testing (18E0013) by T. Coughlan in 2018 and M. Piera (19E0211) in 2019 was able to demonstrate that many of these were of fairly modern agricultural origin. However, sixteen locations were set aside for further investigation, which was undertaken by J. Whittaker under the licence (18E0013) between the beginning of April and the end of July 2019, and all but four of these proved to be of archaeological interest. About 30m N of the ring-ditch (ME050-049002-) was the base of a rectangular trough (dims 1.58m x 0.95m; D 0.1-0.2m) which had a stake-hole in three of its corners. The two fills of brown sandy clay had a quantity of burnt stone and charcoal. There were no other associated features and no evidence of a burnt mound, but there was undoubtedly a fulacht fia at this location one time. Three small pits (diam. 0.5-0.8m; D 0.12-0.24m) were found 10-20m to the E which might not be connected with either monument but the largest of these pits (dims 1.41m x 1.24m; D 0.26m) had a high charcoal content, including burnt planks.

Cogan (1862-70, vol. 1, 190) records that a church dedicated to St. Michael had been levelled. There is no evidence of a church within an oval graveyard (dims c. 55m N-S; c. 35m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at SW: Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.5m; ext.

Cogan (ibid.) records that devotions at St. Michael’s well within the graveyard had been discontinued since c. 1810, but the well remains as a rectangular sunken area (dims 1.1m x 1.1m; D 1m) retained by drystone walling and with a grass-covered mound (Wth 1-1.5m; H 0.2-0.4m) around it on every side, except the W.

Targeted archaeological testing (18E0013) by T. Coughlan in 2018 and M. Piera (19E0211) in 2019 was able to demonstrate that many of these were of fairly modern agricultural origin. However, sixteen locations were set aside for further investigation, which was undertaken by J. Whitaker under the licence (18E0013) between the beginning of April and the end of July 2019, and all but four of these proved to be of archaeological interest. An irregularly shaped spread of broken and burnt stone (dims 5.03m x 2.5m; max. T 0.09m) produced some sherds of prehistoric pottery and is associated with four small pits (dims 0.13m x 0.13m; D 0.14m to 1m x 0.9m; D 0.12m), but a trough is not recognised. There are also eight post-holes and six stake-holes, but no pattern is discernible although five of the stake-holes are in a NW-SE line (L 1.7m). No artefacts were recovered. Just 2m N of the burnt mound material was an E-W gully (L 9.65m; Wth 0.37m; D 0.06-0.12m) and some post-holes and stake-holes. These features were filled with silty clays lacking any burnt stone content so they are probably unrelated to the burnt mound, and the gully was cut by a N-S agricultural drain. Extending E from the burnt mound was a line of pits (dims < 1m) also with fills of silty clays with charcoal and some burnt stone, but one of the pits produced a small sherd of glazed stoneware that could be post-medieval in date.
