• DU022-020 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  Situated in an area of undulating grassland SE of the Dodder valley. Named on the 1843 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular, hachured enclosure. The site was excavated in 1985 prior to motorway construction (Keeley 1985, 23). It comprised a truncated circular structure (int. diam. 24m) defined by a bank and external fosse. Excavations revealed a D-shaped wooden structure, a hearth and a series of pits and post-holes within the interior. Finds included a flint scraper and a possible loom weight.

• DU022-111 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Monitoring of topsoil removal in 1998 revealed, a spread of burnt material containing black silt, burnt stone and charcoal fragments. A rectilinear pit 1.1m wide and 0.48m deep had been cut by a subcircular pit 2m long, 1.4m wide and 0.6m deep. Beside this were the remains of a hearth and two linear concentrations of stake-holes-94 in total. The linear arrangement of stake-holes ran on either side of the rectilinear pit, and a number were clearly angled to form a tent-like structure over the pit (Gracie 2000, 35, ).
