• DU005-016001 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  Situated to the north-west end of a low ridge above the beach at Barnageeragh. Extensive views of eastern coast of Ireland north to the Mourne Mountains. This is a circular round-topped cairn (diam. 15m; H 2m) c. 200m NNW of the site of another cairn (DU005-017001-) (Hartnett 1957, 266). Cairn site overgrown with scrub-has been treated and scrub cut back in recent past. Cairn site disturbed by local landowner George Hamilton in the mid-19th century (Hamilton, 1846). As part of pre-development investigations geophysical survey (magnetometry and resitivity) took place at this relatively intact cairn. It was recorded as being oval in plan and divided into several irregular-shaped features. Anomalies close to the cairn were interpreted as pits (PZP 2004, 10).

• DU005-016002 Prehistoric site - lithic scatter
  Description

  A large quantity of flint debitage with a low density of retouched pieces, found during a survey of seven fields in the Barnageeragh area in 1990. Preliminary analysis of the lithic material collected indicates a human presence from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age period (Guinan 1992, 4-8). Completely overgrown with scrub and brambles.

• DU005-017001 Mound
  Description

  Located on a prominent ridge above the beach at Barnageeragh and indicated as 'site of cairn' on 1837 OS 6-inch map. The corner of a field boundary running NE-SW incorporates portion of the mound (dims. L 10m NW-SE; Wth 3.5m N-S; H 1.3m). Probably quarried for stone during construction of railway between Dublin and Drogheda which runs by the site (Healy 1975, 17). The poorly preserved cairn was subject to magnetometry, resitivity and ground-penetrating radar. Several pits were identified close to/inside the monument and a large anomalous feature was detected in the interior of the mound indicating the cairn is much better preserved than expected. (PZP 2004, 11). Despite development in the vicinity the site remains unchanged. It is however not demarcated.

• DU005-017002 Prehistoric site - lithic scatter
  Description

  A large quantity of flint debitage with a low density of retouched pieces, found during a survey of seven fields in the Barnageera area in 1990. Preliminary analysis of the lithic material collected indicates a human presence from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age period (Guinan 1992, 4-8). As part of pre-development investigations a fieldwalking study was undertaken in this field which contains cairn DU005-017001- towards its eastern limit. There was a relatively low lithic count from this field with undiagnostic flint being recovered (Doyle, S. 2003, 9).

  Description

  A large quantity of flint debitage with a low density of retouched pieces, found during a survey of seven fields in the Barnageeragh area in 1990. Preliminary analysis of the lithic material collected indicates a human presence from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age period (Guinan 1992, 4-8). The field slopes steeply down to the north-east.

• DU005-071 Enclosure
  Description

  Pre-development monitoring in 2004 revealed archaeological features which were excavated late in 2004 and early 2005 (04E0209Ext). This revealed a u-shaped enclosure (diam. c. 10m) which enclosed a single pit and was defined by three curvilinear ditches, pits, spreads and possible slot-trenches. The main body of ditch activity was radiocarbon dated to 660-860AD while the pit was dated to the Early Bronze Age (Baker, 2006). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 15 November 2014

• DU005-072 House - prehistoric
  Description

  Excavations in 2006 revealed a group of seven postholes and two stakeholes which created a sub-circular arrangement with a central hearth (diam 6m). Sherds of prehistoric pottery of possible Bronze Age date and struck flint were recovered from the postholes (Cocoran, E, 2009, 38). Southwest of the possible prehistoric house site was an inhumation within a ring ditch, to the southwest of which was a burnt mound. North of the prehistoric activity was a ringfort containing a possible house site and two souterrains (Corcoran, 2009).

• DU005-143002 Burial
  Description

  A ring ditch (13m diam.) (DU005-143001-) with an inhumation roughly central within it was excavated in advance of development (Licence no. 06E0477). The burial was a crouched juvenile in a sub-rectangular pit. The skull had been disturbed and reburied in a small pit with an animal rib and human scapula (Corcoran 2009, 40).

  Description
