  Description

  Identified during archaeological monitoring associated with the Limerick Main Drainage Scheme. Excavated under licence 00E0506 by Edmond O’Donovan (O’Donovan 2000), the results were summarised as following; ‘The site consisted of a series of subcircular pits, post- and stake-holes, bisected by a linear ditch. In all, 48 features were excavated: 19 post-holes, 18 pits, 10 stake-holes and a ditch. Many of these features showed signs of truncation. Topsoil had been removed from the field surface in previous years in preparation for the groundworks associated with Rathbane golf-course. The features were located within an area measuring 33m east–west by 17m. Most of the features were uniformly filled with a natural deposit of mid to dark brown/grey, silty clay. Five of the pits had been deliberately backfilled (with heat-shattered sandstone and small fragments of burnt animal bone), while six contained evidence of in situ heating/burning. The pits averaged 1.2m x 1.1m in plan and 0.3m in depth and were all subcircular, shallow and typically flat-based. The post-holes averaged 0.4m x 0.4m in plan and 0.3m in depth. Four of these were stone-packed (www.excavations.ie; O'Donovan 2002, 190). Subsequent to post excavation analysis it was possible to propose a building plan for the post and stake holes identified. The building measured 12.7m east-west and 5m north-south. Radiocarbon dating of charcoal from a pit indicated occupation at the site between 1253-1003 BC (O’Donovan 2002, 28-29).
