Recorded monuments

• LI006-091 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Miscellaneous features excavated prior to the construction of the M7 National Road. Thirteen features were initially identified during archaeological testing (licence 00E0854) of the Limerick Southern Ring Road Project by Avril Hayes (Hayes 2001, 758). The features comprised of isolated circular deposits or pits and one possible complex (Coyne & Hayes 2001, 28-29). Excavated by Hayes under an extension to licence 00E0854 (Hayes 2001, 806) the results were summarised as following; ‘The sites were excavated in May 2001. The circular pit at Garraun may have been of archaeological significance but the absence of charcoal or artefacts within its fill prohibits a more precise interpretation of the feature. Many of the features excavated were probably naturally occurring and the remaining features were either circular or irregular in shape. No datable artefacts were recovered during the excavation' (www.excavations.ie 2001; 758, 806). Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date upload: 16 June 2020
