• LI020-175 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Excavated by Brian Halpin (02E0643) when 'topsoil-stripping on Bord Gáis Éireann's Pipeline to the West uncovered a fulacht fiadh in Milltown North townland, Co. Limerick. This site was the disturbed remains of a fulacht fiadh, with a trough and associated features. The site probably contained a large mound, lost through later agricultural activity. This was evident from traces of burnt material remaining in the baulk at the limit of excavation to the south of the site. The only visible remnants of the monument were the cut features that held the burnt material. Numerous natural undulations in the subsoil throughout the site also contained burnt material. A sub-oval trough measuring 2.3m east-west by 1.86m, with a maximum depth of 0.36m, was uncovered in the eastern area of the site. It had gently sloping sides and an unlined, flat base and contained numerous fills typically associated with a trough. All of the fills contained charcoal-rich material with heat-shattered stones throughout. Numerous other pits were excavated, all irregular in shape and containing frequent amounts of burnt material. The other features associated with the site do not seem to have a regular pattern or discernible function. In the centre of the site a highly irregular, sublinear feature emerged. It measured 10m north-south by 1.1m, with a maximum depth of 0.45m. It contained the same burnt material as the surrounding features and had a long channel running down its centre. Originally thought to have been a kiln, it was found to be a probable irrigation ditch on further investigation. Owing to the limit of excavation, this feature was only partially excavated.'

• LI020-176 Souterrain
  Description

  Discovered within a cashel (LI020-004001-) and then rediscovered in 1976 when it was 'covered in' (NMI top. files). A sword, now in the National Museum of Ireland, was discovered in this souterrain (Donnelly 1994, vol. 2, 152). There is no no evident trace of the souterrain within the cashel.

• LI020-177 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Excavation by Graham Hull (02E0644) as part of Bord Gáis Éireann's Pipeline to the West. 'A single sherd of prehistoric pottery was recovered from the surface of a feature fill during monitoring by Kenneth Wiggins (No. 64 above, 02E0119). A discrete cut feature was subsequently excavated and revealed to be an irregular and shallow scoop or possibly two very small and truncated post-holes. The feature measured 0.9m (north-south) by 0.7m and had a maximum depth of 0.15m. The fill was a fine, light to mid-brown, silty clay with occasional charcoal flecking and very small fragments of decayed limestone. No artefacts were observed during excavation, but, as Bronze Age pottery had been found at the top of the fill during monitoring, it was decided to take a 100% sample of the fill. Sieving of the sample may produce further artefactual evidence that will facilitate interpretation of this isolated feature. The pottery sherd is Beaker, which has been documented in Ireland from c. 2500/2450 BC and remained in use for several centuries (A.L. Brindley, pers. comm.).'
