Description
Part of a fulacht fiadh was archaeologically excavated (Licence No. 01E0822). The site had been detected as a spread of burnt materialduring the monitoring of topsoil-stripping for the Hollybrook-Wicklow Bord Gáis Éireann pipeline. A small area, which measured approximately 6.5m north-south by 6m, was opened for excavation by hand. This corresponded with the western area of the pipeline driving track at the point where it met an east-west-aligned third-class road which links the N11 and the R761 regional road. A small stream flows east-west parallel to the road. The present channel of the stream appears to be modern. The base mapping used by BGE for the pipeline construction project indicates a small unnamed stream in this location. A loop can clearly be seen to the west of the Barnacoyle Big II site. Conversation with the landowner revealed that the stream was only placed into the current channel during the 1960s. The archaeological features were revealed because a larger area of topsoil was stripped owing to the need for storage and parking at a road crossing. The earliest activity revealed by excavation related to the bed of the since-diverted stream. Some five deposits of riverine origin were revealed in the former streambed. These sat in a depression in the northern part of the excavated area. The lowermost deposit encountered consisted of a waterlogged layer of friable grey sand with charcoal flecking. This was present throughout the area of the streambed examined, measuring approximately 6m east-west by 2.1-1.8m. The depth of this deposit was unknown as it was only partly excavated. A sherd of Bronze Age coarse ware was recovered from the portion of the deposit which was removed. A series of sterile river gravels sealed this deposit. A series of large water-worn limestone boulders were also present in the centre of the former streambed. The feature which initially attracted attention was a spread of heat-shattered stone and charcoal sitting at the point where the river gravels met natural boulder clay. This layer consisted of a moderately compact black clay and stone deposit with inclusions of heat-shattered limestone and sandstone fragments ranging in size from 40mm to 100mm. Inclusions of charcoal were also present in the spread; a particular concentration was noted in the eastern extremity of the part exposed. This deposit measured approximately 6.06m east-west by 1.6-0.96m as exposed, with a depth of 0.1-0.26m. No trough was encountered during the excavations. It is likely that the spread of heat-shattered stone and charcoal is representative of wider activity along the bank of the former stream (Bennett 2003, 412). Date of upload: 29 Septmber 2012

Description
A complex of pits and cut features was excavated in the townland of Tiglin, Co. Wicklow, during May–June 2001. The site was detected during the monitoring of topsoil-stripping for the Hollybrook–Wicklow Bord Gáis Éireann pipeline in May 2001. It was on the crest of a gentle north to south slope, between the coastline to the east and a larger hill to the west. The field was formerly under cultivation, with the likelihood that the site had experienced some truncation by plough prior to excavation. The monitoring of topsoil-stripping and subsequent excavation revealed two related spreads of heat-shattered stone. Subsequent excavation detected approximately ten pits and several post-holes. These features were located in or around the edges of a pre-existing backfilled depression. The earliest feature encountered was a suboval depression that was a broad V-shape in profile and measured approximately 6.6m east–west by 7.9m, with a maximum depth of 1.17m. This was filled with a mix of stony layers and silty clays with infrequent charcoal flecking. A series of pits were cut into the upper fills of this depression and into the surrounding natural subsoil. The majority of these were wide, shallow cuts with loosely compact silty grey clay fills. However, one pit, to the south-east of the area examined, contained a series of eight fills, comprising fire-cracked stone and charcoal layers, silty clays and layers of redeposited charcoal. A single post-hole was revealed at its base. The majority of the excavated pits were sealed by the two spreads of heat-shattered stone, presumably from fulacht fiadh use. A layer of redeposited natural subsoil sealed the heat-shattered stone. Discussion at the time of excavation centred on the possibility that the large initial cut into subsoil was a peri-glacial natural feature. The presence of minute fragments of charcoal in the fills of this cut somewhat confuses the issue, however, although such fragments may well have percolated downwards. The presence of archaeological features on and adjacent to the backfilled depression is unequivocal, and it may well be that any moisture content in the backfill deposits was used for water accumulation. A crude flint scraper was found during initial clearance. Analysis of charcoal samples from excavated pits has noted a high incidence of hazel, followed by oak (Bennett 2003, 429).
