• ME016-080001 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Situated on a slight E-facing slope overlooking a local hollow. Archaeological testing (04E1052) by G. McLoughlin (2005) at Testing Area 1 of Contract 5 of the M3 motorway identified two spreads of broken and burnt stone c. 40m apart (excavations.ie 2004:1194) which were fully excavated (E003165) by S. Reilly in November and December 2006 as Calliaghstown 2. This is an irregularly shaped spread of charcoal-rich clay and heat-shattered stones (dims 20m x 19.5m; max. T 0.44m) that sealed a sub-rectangular trough (2.26m plus E-W; 1.8m N-S; D 0.4m) and an oval pit (dims 1.5m x 0.94m; D 0.26m). The mound and the E edge of the trough were cut by a N-S post-medieval stone drain (Wth 2m; D 0.7m). Three stake-holes were in the two surviving corners of the trough. A subrectangular pit (dims 2.64m x 1.9m; D 0.48m) was just NW of the burnt spread but its fill of broken and burnt stone indicates it is probably contemporary, and a sample of hazel charcoal from its base produced a C14 date of 957-806 cal. BC (Beta 247133). No artefacts were recovered from the excavation but a barbed and tanged arrowhead was recovered in the topsoil of Calliaghstown 2. Fulacht fia (ME016-080002-) is c. 40m to the SE.

Reilly in November and December 2006 as Calliaghstown 2. This mound is an irregularly shaped spread of broken and burnt stone in a charcoal enriched soil (dims 12m x 10.5m; max. T 0.36m). It covered a subcircular pit (dims 0.32m x 0.27m; D 0.11m) filled with a sandy clay and a subrectangular trough (dims 2.25m NW-SE; 1.75m NE-SW; D 0.4m) filled with the burnt mound material. Burnt bone was recovered from the mound, and a sample of hazel charcoal from the mound yielded a C14 date of 1266-1099 cal. BC (Beta 247132). No artefacts were recovered from the excavation but a barbed and tanged arrowhead was recovered in the topsoil of Calliaghstown 2. Fulacht fia (ME016-080001-) is c. 40m to the NW.

• ME016-081001 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  Located at the edge of a ridge in a low-lying area with a canalised SSW-NNE stream c. 25m to the W and lower ground to the S. Archaeological centre-line testing (04E1052) by G. McLoughlin (2005) at Testing Area 1 of Contract 5 of the M3 motorway (excavations.ie 2004:1194) identified archaeological features that were partially investigated (E003164) within the road-take by S. Reilly in interrupted sessions between September 2006 and April 2009 as Calliaghstown 1 (Reilly et al. 2008) when a large enclosure was recorded at the W end while a ring-ditch and a rectangular enclosure were revealed at the E end of the excavation. In Area B/C, W of a SSW-NNE field bank and stream, a large ditch (Wth 3.6-6.6m; D 0.8-1.8m) extends WNW-ESE across area, curving N at its E end (exposed L 65m). The ditch appears to be surrounding a slightly raised area to the N. Most of this ditch is outside the excavated area but it is not known what the nature of the large enclosure is, although it may be a large rath or part of a field system. Three phases are noted in the ditch. A water-logged humus-rich basal fill had evidence of slippage, probably from an original bank along its N side. A deposit with hazel charcoal inclusions produced a C14 date of 662-869 cal. AD (Beta 247130). After this the ditch seemed to silt over a considerable time and black-glazed earthenware was in its upper fill of brown loamy clay with orange and charcoal inclusions that formed a final closing layer throughout its length. Few stratigraphic relationships could be established, but a NNE-SSW gully (Wth 1.5m; D 0.84m; exposed L 10m) and a pit (dims 2.9m x 1.6m; D 0.66m) originating at the bend of the large ditch could pre-date it. A parallel drain (Wth 1.8m; D 0.48m) c. 4m to the E also begins at the main drain. A large drainage ditch (Wth 4.2m; D 1.16m) extends SW (exposed L 30m) from the same bend in the primary ditch. This was filled with silty clays and stones and was re-cut possibly twice but it seems to have been open as long as the principal ditch. A late activity associated with this ditch is the digging of a pit (dims 2.2m x 0.8m; D 1.3m) through its fill, probably as a well. Two NNE-SSW drains (Wth 1-1.9m D 0.12-0.7m; L c. 20m) placed c. 4m apart at the W edge of the excavation may have been separated by a field bank. Many fragmentary furrows N of the main ditch follow the same alignment but stop short 2-8m from the main ditch. After the final closing of this ditch spreads with metal slag extended over the final fill of the main ditch. (Reilly et al. 2008, 6-10) See the attached plans from Reilly et al.

• ME016-081002 Ring-ditch
  Description

  Located at the edge of a ridge in a low-lying area with a canalised SSW-NNE stream c. 25m to the W and lower ground to the S. Archaeological centre-line testing (04E1052) by G. McLoughlin (2005) at Testing Area 1 of Contract 5 of the M3 motorway (excavations.ie 2004:1194) identified archaeological features that were partially investigated (E003164) within the road-take by S. Reilly in interrupted sessions between September 2006 and April 2009 as Calliaghstown 1 (Reilly et al. 2008) when a large enclosure was recorded at the W end while a ring-ditch and a rectangular enclosure were revealed at the E end of the excavation. In Area A, E of a SSW-NNE field bank and stream, a circular area (int. diam. c. 16m) was at the N edge of the road-take and half of it survives outside it. The enclosure is defined by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 2.4m; D 0.9m), and there may have been an entrance at S. The ditch was re-cut as shallower and wider (max. Wth 2.86m; max. D 0.74m) in Phase 2, and recut again at the W edge in Phase 3. The interior of the enclosure is marked by NE-SW furrows, and no original internal features survive. It is later than the rectangular enclosure that is just to the S and cuts its fosse. (Reilly et al. 2008, 2-3) See the attached plans from Reilly et al.

• ME016-081003 Enclosure
  Description

  Located at the edge of a ridge in a low-lying area with a canalised SSW-NNE stream c. 25m to the W and lower ground to the S. Archaeological centre-line testing (04E1052) by G. McLoughlin (2005) at Testing Area 1 of Contract 5 of the M3 motorway (excavations.ie 2004:1194) identified archaeological features that were partially investigated (E003164) within the road-take by S. Reilly in interrupted sessions between September 2006 and April 2009 as Calliaghstown 1 (Reilly et al. 2008) when a large enclosure was recorded at the W end while a ring-ditch and a rectangular enclosure were revealed at the E end of the excavation. In Area A, E of a SSW-NNE field bank and stream, a subrectangular, slightly raised area (int. dims c. 28-40m NW-SE; c. 26-30m NE-SW) is attached to the S of the small circular enclosure (ME016-081002-). It is defined by straight fosses or ditches (Wth 2-2.2m; D 0.42-0.7m) which may have had an entrance (Wth 2m) in the NE side, in the angle created with the ditch of the small enclosure, which is a later feature. Three phases of infilling of the fosses can be identified. A charred cherry seed from the bottom of the NE fosse produced a C14 date of 985-1156 cal. AD (Beta 247129). The narrowed fosse at NE that is W of the entrance was cut by the fosse of the circular enclosure (ME016-081002-). There were several pits in the interior but they cannot be connected through stratigraphy to the defining ditches and many appear to be earlier. One pit (dims 1.8m x 0.95m; D 0.22m) had four layers, and a light greenish blue segmented faience bead that could date from the Early Bronze Age was in its primary fill. A sample of oak charcoal from a post-hole in the interior provided a C14 date of 130-379 cal. AD (Beta 247128). A piece of a lignite bracelet and a copper alloy stick-pin were from a secondary fill of the NE fosse, but few other notable artefacts were recovered.

• ME016-082 Pit
  Description

  Located in a slight basin on a gently undulating landscape. Archaeological centre-line testing (04E1052) by G. Mcloughlin (2005) at Testing Area 1 of Contract 5 of the M3 motorway (excavations.ie 2004:1194) identified archaeological features that were fully resolved (E003163) by S. Reilly in November 2006 as Calliaghstown 3. It consists of two pits c. 12m apart. The W pit is subrectangular (dims 2.2m N-S; 1.16m E-W; D 0.6m) and contained four fills of brown/grey sandy clays with varying amounts of stone and charcoal inclusions. It is interpreted as a rubbish pit, and the primary fill produced a C14 date of 430-617 cal. AD (Beta 247134) from a sample of cherry charcoal. A wide variety of wild species and cultivated cereals were amongst the charred remains in this layer as well as some cremated bone. The E pit was more irregular in form (dims 3.18m N-S; 2.4m E-W; D 0.16m) and had a single fill of brown/grey clay with frequent stones and charcoal flecks. No artefacts were recovered from either pit. (Reilly and Ginn 2008) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 4 March 2022
