Recorded monuments

• KD020-022 Enclosure
  Description

  'Site No. 2' at Kill Hill (designated KD020-022----) was identified at the base of a slope to the north of Kill Hill during archaeological centre-line testing (Licence No. 03E1265: www.excavations.ie) for the N7 Naas Road Widening and Interchanges Schemes, and was fully excavated (Licence No. 03E1569: www.excavations.ie). The site was first identified as a sub circular penannular ditch filled with striking whitish-grey silty clay. The cut of the ditch was narrow (Wth 0.33-0.47m), enclosing an area of 7m in diameter with terminals to the east. The ditch cut splayed to its widest at both terminals and left an uncut width of c. 2m between the two. An area measuring approximately 30m by 30m was stripped of topsoil around the feature and a post-medieval stone field drain was the only other feature revealed in the vicinity. The ditch fill contained no finds and was, on average, 0.2m deep. There were no features recorded within the circular ditch. On preliminary analysis, considered in relation to the other two features excavated in the vicinity, this feature appears to be a Bronze Age ritual site.

• KD020-022001 Kiln
  Description

  In 2003, 'Site No. 3' at Kill Hill (designated KD020-022001-) was identified on a north-west-facing slope, north of Kill Hill during archaeological centre-line testing (Licence No. 03E1265: www.excavations.ie) for the N7 Naas Road Widening and Interchanges Scheme and was fully excavated (Licence No. 03E1571: www.excavations.ie). The site was identified as a ribbon of burnt clay encircling an oval of redeposited natural subsoil with infrequent charcoal flecking. Excavation revealed that this was a shallow pit (0.2m deep by c. 1m long), roughly figure-of-eight in shape and oriented NW-SE. It was cut into natural subsoil. The more north-westerly of the ovals of the figure-of-eight was the larger, and it also had the more consistent concave base. The primary fill was a layer of red burnt clay 50-60mm thick. This deposit lined the cut on both base and sides, so that it appeared in pre-excavation plan as a ribbon encircling the redeposited natural. The south-eastern oval had a depression at the base of the cut to the south-easternmost part of the feature. The depression was c. 0.35 in diameter and 0.15m in depth, and might have been the repository of a set of bellows. On preliminary analysis, the feature appears to be a form of kiln, of uncertain date. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD020-022002 Flat cemetery
  Description

  'Site No. 4' at Kill Hill (designated KD020-022002-) was identified at the base of a slope to the north of Kill Hill during archaeological centre-line testing (Licence No. 03E1265: www.excavations.ie) for the N7 Naas Road Widening and Interchanges Scheme, and was fully excavated (Licence No. 03E1573: www.excavations.ie). The site was first identified as an amorphous pit with a charcoal-rich fill. An area measuring 15m by 15m was stripped of topsoil by machine around the site and it was revealed to be a roughly circular ditch enclosing several pits. The circular ditch enclosed an area 6.3m in diameter in which six pits were recorded, five of which cut natural inside the ditch and one of which cut the ditch itself. Five of the pits contained burnt bone. The pits were sub circular and measured c. 0.5-0.8m in diameter. The central or primary pit had been disturbed by a secondary burial, which was represented by an undecorated cinerary urn lying on its side. There were some sherds of pottery from a different pot to the urn recovered from the fill of the secondary burial. Two pits were recorded just inside the ditch, one of which contained the base of a pottery vessel. Token deposits of bone lined the edges of the cut of the ditch. The fifth pit, which contained burnt bone as well as an unburnt animal tooth, cut the ditch to the north and was the amorphous charcoal spread noted earlier. Finds of both burnt and unburnt bone were recovered from the ditch. Four post-holes were recorded in a roughly square configuration, cutting both the ditch and the natural subsoil in the interior. One of these contained a small deposit of burnt bone. Preliminary analysis indicates that this feature was a Bronze Age burial site, possibly the truncated remains of a cemetery mound or of a small flat cemetery. Further information will be available for the site following specialist analysis and dating of the pottery and the cremated bone. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
