  Description

  Archaeological monitoring (Fegan 2002. Excavation Licence No. 02E0300) of groundworks necessitated by the Fortbarrington Sewerage Scheme, S of Athy town and to the W of and in the flood-plain of the River Barrow, revealed three, squared, oak timbers lying in river sediments. The timbers lie 21m N of a small E-flowing tributary of the Barrow, which flows S c. 150m to the E. Two timbers were excavated; ‘Timber 1’ (L 1.97m; Wth 0.3m; T 0.25m) and ‘Timber 2’ (L 0.42m; Wth 0.3m; T 0.25m), while ‘Timber 3’ was recorded and preserved in situ (traceable L 3.57m E-W; Wth 0.21m; T 0.18m). The excavator suggests that the timbers may be revetments that were originally set into the bank of a stream, the course of which was subsequently diverted.
