Recorded monuments

• LI036-210 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  This is the record for a test excavation were carried out by Laurence Dunne (03E1662) 'at Rathnaneane, Newcastle West, in advance of the construction of 102 two-storey dwellings, as part of an impact assessment due to the proximity of a ringfort (SMR 36:74) to the development site. Six test-trenches were excavated, which extended radially from the location of the ringfort. They measured 20m by 2m. No evidence of the ringfort ditch was uncovered, but a shallow linear pit was recorded in one of the trenches. It measured 3.8m by 1.1m by 0.11m deep. The fill consisted of orange/brown silty clay with 15% charcoal lumps. It contained occasional flecks of burnt bone, occasional unburnt bone and animal teeth and occasional burnt clay. The cut was subrectangular in plan, with rounded corners. It may have been associated with the nearby ringfort.'
