Recorded monuments

• KD017-050 Hut site
  Description

  Identified in 2001 through the monitoring of topsoil-stripping on the E slope of Boston Hill (OD 538 feet) to facilitate the expansion of a quarry (Excavations 2001, No. 638, 01E0916 www.excavations.ie), and excavated in 2001 (Excavation Licence No. 02E1371: www.excavations.ie). A semicircular area (int diam. 6.5m) was defined by a slot-trench (Wth 0.4m; av. D 0.3m) with a large, oval post-hole (diams. L 0.7m; Wth 0.4m) at the N terminus and a smaller post-hole (diams. L 0.5m; Wth 0.3m) at the S terminus. Two similar, oblong pits (dims. L 1m; Wth 0.6m; D 0.4m) lay c. 3m from the S exterior and contained charcoal-rich fills. One large (L 0.42m; Wth 0.55m) and two smaller (L 0.22m; Wth 0.18m and L 0.2m; Wth 0.16m) post-holes were situated on the W exterior of the slot-trench and respected the curve of the slot-trench, forming a parallel arc 1.2m from its external edge. One small stake-hole (diam. 0.12m) was situated on the interior of the site. During pre-excavation field-walking of the area, several artefacts were found, including a probably Bronze Age arrowhead, several flint fragments and half a spindle-whorl.

• KD017-051 Metalworking site
  Description

  Identified in 2001 through the monitoring of topsoil-stripping on the E slope of Boston Hill (OD 538 feet) to facilitate the expansion of a quarry (Excavations 2001, No. 638, 01E0916: www.excavations.ie). Archaeological deposits were uncovered in seven areas: Area 1 (Designated KD017-052----), Area 2 (Designated KD017-050----), Area 3 (Designated KD017-051----), Area 4 (Designated KD017-053----), Area 5 (Designated KD017-054----), Area 6 (Designated KD017-055----) and Area 7 (Designated KD017-056----). According to the excavator (SMR file), 'Following discussions with the client, it has been established that quarry works will not impact upon Areas 2 to 7 for an estimated 30 years. It may therefore be possible to provide archaeological mitigation for these areas in the form of preservation in situ.' In Area 3 (KD017-051----), the archaeology was contained within an area of 3,750m2. There were at least 28 features, many of which appeared to be related to metalworking activities: a number of large pits with in situ burning around the edges and fills of charcoal-rich soil, containing large pieces of both iron and copper slag. It is probable that a full range of metalworking features, including pit furnaces, smelting furnaces and charcoal-burning pits, are represented in the area. The features appear to be sited along the same contour, their distribution curving in an arc around the south-eastern slope of he hill. This suggests that they were deliberately placed to avoid the prevailing south-west wind and to exploit maximum direct sunlight. No datable ceramics were uncovered and the slag revealed provides only a terminus post quem. With iron slag present the metalworking features could date from the Iron Age, although similar techniques remained in use until medieval times; therefore a broad date of between 500 BC and AD 1500 could apply.

• KD017-052 Habitation site
  Description

  Identified in 2001 through the monitoring of topsoil-stripping on the eastern slope of Boston Hill (OD 538 feet) to facilitate the expansion of a quarry (Excavations 2001, No. 638, 01E0916: www.excavations.ie). Archaeological deposits were uncovered in seven areas: Area 1 (Designated KD017-052----), Area 2 (Designated KD017-050----), Area 3 (Designated KD017-051----), Area 4 (Designated KD017-053----), Area 5 (Designated KD017-054----), Area 6 (Designated KD017-055----) and Area 7 (Designated KD017-056----). According to the excavator (SMR file), 'Following discussions with the client, it has been established that quarry works will not impact upon Areas 2 to 7 for an estimated 30 years. It may therefore be possible to provide archaeological mitigation for these areas in the form of preservation in situ.' Area 1 (KD017-052----) was in the north-eastern part of the site. It contained ten features which were very widely dispersed over an area of 3,600m2. To the extreme south-east, a patch of in situ burnt soil was surrounded by a number of possible pits and post-holes; an apparently isolated pit, c. 32m to the N, contained one piece of iron slag, suggesting that it may be associated with metalworking activity, while to the N again, possible in situ burnt stake- or post-holes were found.

It may therefore be possible to provide archaeological mitigation for these areas in the form of preservation in situ.' Area 4 (KD017-053----) was approximately 20m north-west of Area 3 in the southern part of the site. There were sixteen features within an area of 750m2. The archaeology was comprised of possible pits and stake-holes. An integrated structural feature may become apparent when the area is fully cleaned back and excavated. Iron slag and burnt stone contained within two of the features suggest that this area is directly related to the metalworking activities of Area 3 (KD017-051----).

Here only five features were identified, contained within 500m2. They consisted of possible pits containing charcoal, burning and burnt stone. No finds were revealed to suggest either the date or the function of these features. (www.excavations.ie) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

There was burnt stone within Feature I, and Feature J contained one piece of possible prehistoric pottery. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
