• ME017-092001 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Situated on a slight E-facing slope in a gently undulating landscape. Archaeological testing (04E0919) by J. Roynane (2005) at Testing Area 8 of Contract 4 of the M3 motorway identified archaeological material (excavations.ie 2004:1309) that was excavated (E003136) by P. Lynch (2010) as Nugentstown 1 from late September 2006 to mid-January 2007 (excavations.ie 2007:1360). Two large adjacent open areas amounting to 7641 square metres were opened enabling isolated features to be recorded in the western Area A. This included a spread (dims 1.2m x 0.8m; T 0.15m) with six sherds of vase Food Vessel dated stylistically 2020-1920 BC and some burnt bone. A small hearth (dims 0.85m x 0.6m; T 0.18m) with two postholes or pits impinging on it were also isolated in this area, but a sample of alder charcoal from one of the pits provided a Middle Bronze Age date of 1657-1506 cal. BC (UBA 12061). There were some other postholes and pits in the vicinity including one (dims 1.55m x 0.93m; D 0.18m) that may have been a rubbish pit and a deposit that may have been rake-out from the hearth, but no artefacts were recovered.

  Description

  Situated on a slight E-facing slope in a gently undulating landscape. Archaeological testing (04E0919) by J. Roynane (2005) at Testing Area 8 of Contract 4 of the M3 motorway identified archaeological material (excavations.ie 2004:1309) that was excavated (E003136) by P. Lynch (2010) as Nugentstown 1 from late September 2006 to mid-January 2007 (excavations.ie 2007:1360). Two large adjacent open areas amounting to 7641 square metres were opened enabling isolated features to be recorded in the western Area A. In Area A Structure 1 was a circular area (diam. 5m) defined by an slot-trench (Wth 0.3m; D 0.2m) that had a single fill of loose dark brown sandy silt. There was a gap in the trench (Wth c. 1m) at NE. There was no evidence of a hearth or any other features associated with it, but it is likely to have been a small hut-site. Although it produced no artefacts or other dating material it is likely to be Bronze Age in date. (Lynch 2010, 10-12) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 March 2022

• ME017-092003 House - prehistoric
  Description

  Situated on a slight E-facing slope in a gently undulating landscape. Archaeological testing (04E0919) by J. Roynane (2005) at Testing Area 8 of Contract 4 of the M3 motorway identified archaeological material (excavations.ie 2004:1309) that was excavated (E003136) by P. Lynch (2010) as Nugentstown 1 from late September 2006 to mid-January 2007 (excavations.ie 2007:1360). Two large adjacent open areas amounting to 7641 square metres were opened. In Area B Structure 3 is a rectangular structure (dims 8.8m plus NE-SW; 7.5m plus NW-SE) defined by slot trenches on the W (Wth 0.7m; D 0.15m) and SW (Wth 0.6-0.9m; D 0.15m) sides. There is a gap (Wth 0.5m) in the SW side and the trenches do not meet at the SW angle, although there was a posthole and a small pit inside the angle. A rectangular cut filled with a habitation deposit extended only slightly to the N beyond the W slot-trench, and its N extent was marked by a single posthole and a stakehole. No artefacts or dating material was recovered either from the deposit or the slot-trenches. A sample of hazelnut charcoal from a slot-trench provided a C14 date of 1186-978 cal. BC (UBA 12060), placing it in the Late Bronze Age. A large oval pit (dims 4.65m E-W; 1.6m N-S; D 0.3m) with evidence of in situ burning was just NW of the structure and a subcircular pit (dims c. 4m E-W; c. 3.5m N-S: D 0.32m) was c. 1.5m to the W. Both were filled with silty sands that had flecks of oak charcoal flecks but produced no dating material. A small pit and five postholes were in the vicinity of these large pits and may have had some function in relation to them. Structure 2 was c. 12m to the SE.

• ME017-092004 Hut site
  Description

  Situated on a slight E-facing slope in a gently undulating landscape. Archaeological testing (04E0919) by J. Roynane (2005) at Testing Area 8 of Contract 4 of the M3 motorway identified archaeological material (excavations.ie 2004:1309) that was excavated (E003136) by P. Lynch (2010) as Nugentstown 1 from late September 2006 to mid-January 2007 (excavations.ie 2007:1360). Two large adjacent open areas amounting to 7641 square metres were opened. Structure 2 is c. 12m SE of the rectangular Structure 3 which is dated to the Late Bronze Age. This is a circular area (int. diam. c. 5m) defined by an arcing slot-trench (Wth 0.3m; D 0.25m) NW-N-SE and another (Wth 0.25m; D 0.12m) S-W, leaving a wide gap (Wth 2m) at SE and another (Wth 2.25m) at NW, although the latter has two small pits (dims 0.75m NW-SE; 0.4m NE-SW; D 0.15-0.3m) c. 0.4m apart at its centre. These were positioned to close the gap on this side and may have held posts. The E terminal of the NE slot-trench is cut by a pit (dims 1.25m NW-SE; 0.8m NE-SW; D 0.25m), although this may be the terminal changing direction and turning out as well as widening. There were postholes in the slot-trenches opposite each other at NE and SW, and there was another shallow posthole at the centre. Although no artefacts were recovered and no date is available, it is probably Bronze Age in date, as might the arc of a similar slot-trench (L 5.5m; Wth 0.7m; D 0.27m) SE-SW c. 10m to the NE, although this structure has been largely destroyed by a later E-W ditch (Wth 2m; D 0.9m) from which iron slag was recovered (Lynch 2010, 13-16).

• ME017-093 Burnt mound
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape. Archaeological testing (04E0920) by S. Delaney (2005) at Testing Area 7 of Contract 4 of the M3 motorway identified a burnt mound spread (excavations.ie 2004:1171) that was fully excavated (E003135) by P. Lynch (2010) as Nugentstown 2 in January and February 2007 (excavations.ie 2007:1361). An area of just over 1500 square metres was opened and two spreads of broken and burnt stone and a charcoal spread were excavated. The largest spread (dims 8.32m E-W; 4m N-S; D 0.05m) filled a natural hollow in the subsoil. A fragment of alder charcoal from this yielded a C14 date of 2575-2475 cal. BC (UBA 11133), placing it at the Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age transition. The second spread (dims 2.5m E-W; 1.3m N-S; D 0.08m) c. 10m to the N was also lodged in a hollow on the surface of the subsoil. A small spread (dims 1.5m x 1.3m; T 0.02m) of charcoal was c. 17m NW of the larger spread of heat-affected stone. Al the material is probably dislodged from its original location.

• ME017-094 Burnt mound
  Description

  Situated on a gently undulating landscape. Archaeological testing (04E0920) by S. Delaney (2005) at Testing Area 7 of Contract 4 of the M3 motorway identified a burnt mound spread (excavations.ie 2004:1171) that was fully excavated (E003134) by P. Lynch (2010) as Nugentstown 3 in September 2006 (excavations.ie 2007:1361). An area of 1600 square metres was opened and two areas of broken and burnt stone and a charcoal spread were excavated. A pit (diam. 1.05m; D 0.5m) had a basal fill of charcoal-rich soil with heat-affected stones beneath a layer of brown/grey soil that may be ashes and heat-shattered stone that spread outside the pit. Nine flints and 45 sherds that were all worn and abraded from four fine and one domestic Beaker vessel were recovered from the pit. A fragment of alder charcoal provided a C14 date of 1915-1759 cal. BC (UBA 12068). This is too late for the pottery which might have been redeposited in the pit. A line of seven postholes roughly aligned E-W (L 16m) was just S of the spread and a fragment of ash charcoal from one returned a radiocarbon date of 1664-1522 cal. BC (UBA 11132). There were five other pits (diam. 0.3m; D 0.04m; to 1.6m x 1.1m; D 0.2m) in the area, four of them with charcoal-enriched soils but no artefacts were recovered from them, although three scrapers and an abraded sherd of fine Beaker were in the topsoil.
