• WX026-089001 Ring-ditch
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Knockrathkyle 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 11-3). It is situated on the E side of a slight col with slightly higher ground c. 700m to the W and a low hill c. 600m to the E. It was excavated (E4174) by C. Hardy when two ring-ditches, 13 cremation pits, and two possible structures came to light. An earlier Beaker phase may be represented and a resistivity survey identified at least two ring-ditches outside the road-take and the excavated area. This barrow (int. diam. 3.6m; ext. diam. 5.8m) was defined by an unbroken fosse (Wth 1.2m; D 0.69m) which had four layers, two of which produced flecks of charcoal, but no artefacts or burnt bone were recovered. However, the outer edge of the ditch did cut a cremation pit at W. Ring-ditch (WX026-089002-) is c. 10m to the N. (Hardy 2012, 12; 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 29 November, 2013

• WX026-089002 Ring-ditch
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Knockrathkyle 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 11-3). It is situated on the E side of a slight col with slightly higher ground c. 700m to the W and a low hill c. 600m to the E. It was excavated (E4174) by C. Hardy when two ring-ditches, 13 cremation pits, and two possible structures came to light. An earlier Beaker phase may be represented and a resistivity survey identified at least two ring-ditches outside the road-take and the excavated area. This barrow is a circular area (int. diam. 3.1m; ext. diam. 6.3m) defined by a V-shaped ditch (Wth 1.55m; D 0.9m), but half of it remains unexcavated outside the road-take to the W. The ring-ditch (WX026-089001-) is c. 10m to the S and the cremations pits (WX026-089003-) are c. 7m to the E. (Hardy 2012, 12; 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 29 November, 2013

• WX026-089003 Flat cemetery
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Knockrathkyle 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 11-3). It is situated on the E side of a slight col with slightly higher ground c. 700m to the W and a low hill c. 600m to the E. It was excavated (E4174) by C. Hardy when two ring-ditches, 13 cremation pits, and two possible structures came to light. An earlier Beaker phase may be represented and a resistivity survey identified at least two ring-ditches outside the road-take and the excavated area. The thirteen cremation pits were either small and shallow (dims 0.3-0.8m; D 0.1-0.2m) or more steep-sided and deeper (diam. 0.55-0.9m; D 0.23-0.4m), but all contained charcoal and cremated bone. Ten of them formed a line (L 5.5m N-S) c. 7m E of the ring-ditch (WX026-089002-) and c. 10m NW of the structure (WX026-089004-).

  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Knockrathkyle 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 11-3). It is situated on the E side of a slight col with slightly higher ground c. 700m to the W and a low hill c. 600m to the E. It was excavated (E4174) by C. Hardy when two ring-ditches, 13 cremation pits, and two possible structures came to light. An earlier Beaker phase may be represented and a resistivity survey identified at least two ring-ditches outside the road-take and the excavated area. A small circle (diam. 2.4-2.8m) of pits (diam. 0.22-0.5m; D 0.04-0.3m) is interpreted as a storage area with a possible work-surface. It is located c. 10m SE of the line of cremation pits (WX026-089003-) and c. 5m SW of a possible house structure (WX026-089005-).

  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Knockrathkyle 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 11-3). It is situated on the E side of a slight col with slightly higher ground c. 700m to the W and a low hill c. 600m to the E. It was excavated (E4174) by C. Hardy when two ring-ditches, 13 cremation pits, and two possible structures came to light. An earlier Beaker phase may be represented and a resistivity survey identified at least two ring-ditches outside the road-take and the excavated area. An area of intense activity (dims c. 6m E-W; c. 4m N-S) with 72 stake-holes and pits together with some larger post-holes may represent a structure with several construction phases, but no pattern is discernible amongst the post-holes and no hearth is identified. It is c. 5m NE of structure (WX026-089004-). (Hardy 2012, 7-10; 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 29 November, 2013

• WX026-089006 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Knockrathkyle 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 11-3). It is situated on the E side of a slight col with slightly higher ground c. 700m to the W and a low hill c. 600m to the E. It was excavated (E4174) by C. Hardy when two ring-ditches, 13 cremation pits, and two possible structures came to light. An earlier Beaker phase may be represented and a resistivity survey identified at least two ring-ditches outside the road-take and the excavated area. An isolated pit (dims 1.36m x 0.75m; D 0.2m) located c. 8m SSE of the ring-ditch (WX026-088001-) produced 31 sherds of what is probably Beaker pottery, almost the only artefacts recovered in the excavation. There were numerous other pits and excavated features throughout the excavated area that could not be associated with any of the nodes of activity and some may be contemporary with this early phase.

  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Knockrathkyle 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 11-3). It is situated on the E side of a slight col with slightly higher ground c. 700m to the W and a low hill c. 600m to the E. It was excavated (E4174) by C. Hardy when two ring-ditches, 13 cremation pits, and two possible structures came to light. An earlier Beaker phase may be represented by a few pits. A resistivity survey outside the road-take to the W produced evidence of two fairly certain ring-ditches with other possible features. This ring-ditch (int. diam. c. 3m; ext. diam. c. 6m) is identified as an unbroken ditch is c. 25m WNW of ring-ditch (WX026-089002-) with the ring-ditch (WX026-089008-) c. 2m to the W.

This ring-ditch (int. dims c. 4m N-S; c. 3m E-W; ext. dims c. 6m E-W; c. 8m N-S) appears to be open (Wth c. 3m) to the NE. Ring-ditch (WX026-089007-) is c. 2m to the E.
