• KE066-075 Enclosure
  Description

  In a new housing development, c. 800m S of Killarney. A circular enclosure, which is visible as a cropmark in an aerial photograph, was excavated in 1998 prior to the construction of houses (O'Donnell 2000, 95-6). Excavation revealed a circular area (int. diam. 32m) defined by a U-shaped fosse (Wth 2.35-3.66m; D 0.69-1.13m) with an undug section of the fosse at W that was interpreted as an entrance. A V-shaped inner fosse (Wth 0.62-1.39m; D 0.42-0.89m) defining a subcircular area (25m N-S by c. 22m) was found inside the U-shaped fosse but was not concentric with it and the distance between the two fosses varied. No features or deposits associated with the original use of the fosses survived and as a result it was not possible to obtain absolute dates for the enclosure. Evidence of smelting activity, noted in the interior of the enclosure, was found to post-date the construction of the enclosure. A furnace, surrounded by a semicircular arrangement of stake-holes was uncovered in the SE quadrant and a hearth, surrounded by numerous small pits and stake-holes, was found in the centre of the interior. A series of shallow pits (KE066-116----, KE066-209----, KE066-210----, KE066-211----, KE066-212----) lie immediately to the SE.

  Description

  Archaeological monitoring of foundations for a housing development revealed five shallow pits (see KE066-209----; KE066-210----; KE066-211----; KE066-212----) containing burnt earth and charcoal in an area immediately to the SE of the enclosure (KE066-075----) (Breen 1998, 87). This flat-bottomed pit (Wth 0.8m, D 0.22m) contained charcoal and ash (Breen 1997, feature 1). Another pit (KE066-209---) was found c. 5m to the SW.

A very slight concavity with fill of charcoal and ash was interpretated as probably the edge of a pit (Wth 1.55m) (Breen 1997, feature 3). Another pit (KE066-211---) was found c. 30m to the SW.

A thin slightly concave layer of charcoal and ash (Wth 0.8m; max. T 0.04m) was interpretated as the edge of a pit underneath which was burnt soil (Breen 1997, feature 4). Another pit (KE066-212---) was found c. 80m to the WNW. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

This pit (Wth 1m; D 0.4m) narrowed sharply towards its base and contained dark red-brown clay mixed with charcoal (Breen 1997, feature 6). A possible post hole (Wth 0.08m) was found c. 15m to the SE.
