Recorded monuments

• LI005-034001 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Ó Danachair (1955, 202) recorded the following details about this holy well; ‘Mary Magdalene's Well on 1840 map. In a grove of whitethorn bushes. A masonry cupola over the well has a niche for a life-size statue of the saint. Rounds still made, especially on the feast day (22nd July). Flowers and candles are left at the well'. The following folklore was recorded from Monaleen National School about Mary Magdalene's Well; 'St. Mary Magdalen's is situated in Kilbane near the Groody. There is the remains of an old churchyard quite near it. Rounds are made there on 22nd July, the feast of Mary Magdalen. The legend connected with this well is that while some men were haymaking at the spot, they stuck their wooden forks into the ground and went away. When they returned they found the fork grown into a tree which still shelters the well. The water was supposed to cure ailments of the stomach' (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0524, Page 127; accessible online at www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4922098/4852218/4947111).

• LI005-034002 Burial ground
  Description

  In woodland, on a gentle SW-facing slope, c. 25m to E of Groody Road and c. 70m to E of the Groody River. Mary Magdalene’s Well (LI005-034001-) is located within. Depicted on the revised 1938 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subrectangular-shaped enclosure (approx.12m NW-SE; 9.5m NE-SW). Obscured by tree cover on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 02/07/2018. An excavation was carried out on a site consisting of two small pits and a small charcoal-rich deposit in the townland of Kilbane in November 2002. These features were uncovered during monitoring by Tracy Collins of topsoil-stripping along the line of a drainage wayleave in this area (No. 1183 above, 02E1615). The two pits were 100m apart, and the small deposit was 7m to the north-east of the southern pit. All of these features were uncovered on the surface of the boulder clay. The northern pit was subrectangular, measuring 1m by 0.7m, and was 0.1m deep. The boulder clay at the sides and base of the pit was oxidised to a bright red, indicating that it was associated with in situ burning. The black, charcoal-rich fill contained a few tiny fragments of burnt bone but no artefacts. The southern pit appeared to have been truncated; it was 0.3m in diameter and 0.05m deep. The charcoal-rich fill contained a number of small fragments of metal slag, but there was no evidence of in situ burning, and the feature contained no artefacts. The shallow deposit was 0.3m in diameter and 0.02m deep and consisted of a black, charcoal-rich soil, which may form the remains of the basal part of a truncated pit feature. The forthcoming identification and dating of the charcoal and burnt bone samples recovered from these features will allow a fuller interpretation of their date and function.

• LI005-034003 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  In pasture, on a gentle SW-facing slope, c. 95m to E of Groody Road and c. 140m to E of the Groody River. Mary Magdalene’s Well (LI005-034001-) and a burial ground (LI005-034002-) are located c. 66m to SW. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Discovered during archaeological monitoring (License No. 02E1615) and excavated by Tracy Collins (License No. 02E1710) (Collins 2002a and 2002b). A keyhole-shaped feature, consisting of a subcircular-shaped pit (L 1.4m; max. Wth 0.8m; D 0.4m) filled with a deep black deposit mixed with boulder clay and having an oily texture (Collins 2002b). There were small amounts of charcoal inclusions and some organic material and the edge of the pit showed evidence of burning (ibid). A linear flue (L0.8m; Wth 0.2m; D 0.25m) projected from the pit to the SW and was filled with a mix of redeposited boulder clay, some stones and flecks of charcoal; Its edges had some evidence of heat exposure (ibid). This feature is likely to have had an industrial function.

• LI005-085001 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  On gentle W-facing slope, in low-lying pasture, c. 185m E of the Groody River. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified in 2002 during monitoring (Licence No. 02E1787) in advance of a residential development including private houses, student accommodation and support facilities (Hayes 2003, 4). Topsoil stripping in Field 1 uncovered eight pits and one deposit. Five of the pits contained cremated bone and two pits contained fragments of Bronze Age pottery. These were excavated under the same license in December 2002 (Hayes 2003, 4). See attached plan extract from monitoring report (Hayes 2003).

• LI005-085002 Enclosure
  Description

  On gentle W-facing slope, in low-lying pasture, c. 200m NE of the Groody River. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified by Avril Hayes in 2002 during testing (Licence No. 02E1787) in Field 2 in advance of a residential development including private houses, student accommodation and support facilities (Hayes 2003, 4). This uncovered two sections of a ditch, having a U-shaped cut as well as four pits (LI005-085003-). Subsequent monitoring of topsoil stripping carried out by Avril Hayes in Field 2 uncovered the remainder of the ditch that had been identified during testing. It was a circular-shaped ditch (int. diam. 40m) and enclosed a circular-shaped feature (diam. 5m) in the SW quadrant. This levelled monument was further tested and then excavated by Avril Purcell in 2004 when it was recorded as a subtriangular-shaped, double-ditched enclosure (Purcell 2004, 2). The structure within is of probable Bronze Age in date and possible cremation and burial pits are thought to be contemporary (Purcell 2004, 11). Stratigraphic evidence shows that one of the pits predates the enclosure and two sherds of Beaker pottery also suggest earlier activity in the area (ibid). See attached plan extract from testing report (Hayes 2003), testing report (Purcell 2004) and excavation report (Purcell 2004).

• LI005-085006 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  On gentle W-facing slope, in low-lying pasture, c. 200m NE of the Groody River. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified in the vicinity of enclosure (LI005-085002-) by Avril Hayes in 2002 during testing (Licence No. 02E1787) in Field 2 in advance of a residential development including private houses, student accommodation and support facilities (Hayes 2003, 4). This uncovered a corn-drying kiln which was then excavated under licence (No. 04E1454) by Avril Purcell (Purcell 2004, 11). The kiln (L 2.06m; Wth 0.7m; D 0.48m) was a slight keyhole-shaped feature orientated N-S. This opened out into a slightly wider circular-shaped bowl (diam. 0.75m) at the N end. The bowl was identified by its size and oxidised clay indicating that it was the location of the fire pit (Purcell 2004, 21-23). See attached plan extract from excavation report (Purcell 2004).

• LI005-086 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  On a gentle SW-facing slope, in low-lying pasture, c. 600m to E of the Groody River. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified by Sarah McCutcheon, Executive Archaeologist, Limerick Co. Co. in 2003 during monitoring (Licence No. 03E1343) of phase 1, Castletroy distributor road (McCutcheon 2003). This revealed a series of features in three fields. Field 1 contained three pits, four further pits containing cremated burials which were all excavated, including one pit with multiple burials; two other pits which might contain cremations were recorded (ibid). In Field 2 twenty small pits/deposits, two linear features, a rectangular feature and a possible drain were recovered, most of which proved post-medieval in date (ibid). Six trenches/drains, six pits, five possible post-pits and eleven stake-holes were also recorded within Field 2, in addition to a shallow, roughly circular-shaped trench (diam. 4.2m). In Field 3, there were six possible pits and four small concentrations of charcoal uncovered (ibid). The road was 400m in length and the initial 220m was in cut and all features were excavated. It would appear that those features found across the second half of the scheme were in a fill area and retained in situ. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 29 June 2020

Identified by Flor Hurley in 2003 during monitoring (License No. 03E1382) for a housing scheme known as Glantan and excavated (License No. 03E1717) by Niamh O’Callaghan later in 2003. A number of features (F21-24 and F89) in Area 1 (west) were excavated including seven roughly circular-shaped cremation pits (average diam. 0.5m; D 0.2m). A substantial amount of bone was recovered from four of the features and occasional sherds of pottery were recorded in three examples. Three phases of cremation burial have been interpreted on the site. The earliest phase involves a linear feature with two cremations cut into the base. There were two stake-holes associated with one of the cremations and the second was surrounded by a circle of ten stake-holes. The second phase of cremations were cut into the fill of another feature, while the final phase consisted of a single cremation. See attached plan extract from monitoring report (Hurley 2003).

Identified by Flor Hurley in 2003 during monitoring (License No. 03E1382) for a housing scheme known as Glantan and excavated (License No. 03E1717) by Niamh O’Callaghan later in 2003. In Area 2 (125m to N of Area 1), a number of features (F25-F56) were recovered and consisted of 90 circular pits (F25-F56) covering a roughly rectangular-shaped area (12m x 6m). There was no evidence for an enclosing element or superstructure recorded in this area. All but twelve pits contained fragments of cremated bone. One of the cremations was contained in a pot, which was block-lifted, however was in a poor state of preservation upon conservation and little of the pot survived. Nevertheless, a capstone which had helped to cover the pot had assisted in the preservation of the cremated remains contained within. Out of 90 pits excavated, 22 contained fragments of pottery and 6 had a substantial quantity of sherds. Preliminary identification by a prehistoric pottery specialist suggests a Late Bronze Age date (Helen Roche, pers. comm.) (ibid). See attached plan extract from monitoring report (Hurley 2003).
