• ME050-056 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Situated within the valley of the Tolka River, with a meandering NNW-SSE section of the stream c. 150m to the SW, and a relict pond just to the W. Archaeological centre-line testing (04E0490) by R. O’Hara of Testing area 6 of Contract 1 of the M3 motorway identified a spread of deposits (excavations.ie: 2004:1232) that were fully excavated (E003031) by R. Elliott (excavations.ie 2005:1229) as Pace 1 in September to November 2005. What was thought to have been a spread of burnt mound material proved to be natural riverine gravels, but a total of 24 pits (dims 0.34m x 0.26m; D 0.24 to 2.05m x 2.03m; D 0.16m) were recorded as well as numerous stake and post-holes, and a cereal-drying kiln. The pits were filled with a grey/brown/orange clayey silt with inclusions of pebbles, but charcoal flecks, largely hazel, were present in only 11 pits. A sample of hazel from one pit produced a C14 date of 2461-2155 cal. BC. Water-logged remains of thistle and grass were recorded in two pits, and animal bones were recovered from six, a sample of which provided a radiocarbon date of 924-806 cal. BC. There were few artefacts recovered from the pits, but sherds of likely Late Bronze Age pottery and a fragment of a clay mould of a bladed weapon were recovered as well as flint debitage and a cockle shell. There were 15 post-holes and 175 stake-holes, but no pattern is discernible amongst the post-holes, and the stake-holes clustered, together with the pits, at the W end of a ditch (Wth 0.5-0-.55m; D 0.24m) that terminated at the edge of a pond. Post-medieval material was recovered from the upper fill of this drain. (Elliott et al. 2008) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 3 November 2021 O’Hara, R. 2004 M3 Clonee-North of Kells.

• ME050-056001 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  Located on slightly higher ground than the pits (ME050-056----) just to the S was a figure-of-eight kiln consisting of an oval pit (dims 1.37m x 1-1.2m; D 0.36m) connected at S to a circular pit (diam. 0.82-0.94m; D 0.46m). It was filled with silty clay with inclusions of charcoal and burnt bone over a red-stained clay indicating in situ burning. The oval pit produced charred evidence of wheat and barley but a sample of hazel charcoal from it yielded a C14 date of 422-596 cal. AD. A sample of charred hazel from the circular pit produced a C14 date of 267-540 cal. AD. The subsoil was scarred with ard-marks running NW-SE and NE-SW.
