Recorded monuments

• LI006-098001 Cremation pit
  Description

  On a NW-facing slope, in pasture, c. 50m to E of a stream. Identified by Tracy Collins in 2006 during test trenching (Road Scheme Reg. No. E2320; Ministerial Direction No. A026) prior to the construction of the Southern Limerick Ring-Road and excavated by Aidan Harte in the same year as part of Gardenhill Site 1 (Harte 2009, 325). Located c. 90m to W of miscellaneous excavation (LI006-089002-). A subcircular-shaped pit (0.75m NW-SE; 0.65m NE-SW; D 0.12m) contained several fills including one that contained charcoal and burnt bone (Harte 2009, 325). See attached location plan from excavation report. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 1 July 2020

• LI006-098002 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  On a NW-facing slope, in pasture, c. 90m to E of a stream. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified by Tracy Collins in 2006 during test trenching prior to the construction of the Southern Limerick Ring-Road and excavated (NRA Reg. No. E2320) in the same year by Aidan Harte as part of Gardenhill Site 1 (Harte 2009, 325). Three pits were located c. 35m to E of the cremation pit (LI006-098001-). One of these was a substantial oval-shaped pit (1.8m N-S; D 0.52m), which contained a single brown fill. A second pit (covered by a stone lintel) and four possible post-holes were spread sparsely across the area to NE. Two further pits at the extreme NE were found to be coeval yet no clear function could be deciphered from their fills. All finds from this area suggest a post-medieval date. See attached location plan from excavation report. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 1 July 2020

• LI006-099 Fulacht fia
  Description

  On low-lying ground, on a gentle W-facing slope, in pasture, c. 15m to E of a stream. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified by Tracy Collins in 2006 during test trenching (Ministerial Direction Order A026, NRA Reg. No. E2320) prior to the construction of the Southern Limerick Ring-Road and excavated by Aidan Harte in the same year as part of Gardenhill Site 2 (Harte 2009, 325). Located c. 35m to W of cremation pit (LI006-089001-). A subcircular-shaped spread of burnt material (10.53m N-S; 8.42m E-W; max. D 0.51m) which overlay a trough and a possible hearth platform (Hart 2009, 325). The irregular-shaped trough (1.8m N-S; 1.3m E-W; 0.25m) was filled with burnt stony material similar to that of the main spread. On the N side, underneath the main spread, was a curvilinear horseshoe-shaped cut. This may have provided clean clay with which to raise the area within. Approximately 1m to NW of the curvilinear cut, was an area of large red sandstones, similar to that found within the trough. A small deposit of burnt material was found adjacent to these stones. There were no finds recovered from the site. See attached location plan from excavation report. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 1 July 2020
