• LI013-006 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  The following description of this monument is taken from 'The Urban Archaeological Survey of County Limerick' compiled by John Bradley, Andrew Halpin and Heather A. King (1989a), unpublished report commissioned by the Office of Public Works, Dublin. "The castle, which was the administrative centre of the episcopal manor, is now completely destroyed (MacCaffrey 1907, 155; Westropp 1906-7, 150). It was located on a low rise to the north west of the churches. On the site there are a series of low walls, up to 1.5m high, most of which are probably modern but some may be part of the original L-shaped castle shown on the map. One corner has long and short quoins." Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 5 February 2013

It was described as following; ‘The field is at present under grass and reeds and very water-logged. There is a band of higher ground along the western side, parallel to Moore's Road and at the southern end. Located at this end is a clump of hawthorn trees with some boulders. There is what appears to be a raised sub-circular platform with linear features both within and adjacent’ (O‘Rahilly 1999). Faint cropmarks visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 19/11/2019.

  Description

  Identified by Ken Wiggins as BGE 4/3/1 during archaeological monitoring (Licence 02E1649) along the Bord Gáis Éireann Barnakyle to Coonagh West gas pipeline (Wiggins 2003). Enclosure (LI013-185----) lies c. 26m to the SW. Excavated under licence no. 02E1735 by Wiggins (Wiggins 2003), the results of which were summarised as following; ‘The site was initially identified as a circular spread of charcoal-rich clay, c. 4.5m in diameter, containing dense burnt stone fragments. The limits of the site were concealed by natural grey sediment up to 0.25m thick. Most of this was mechanically excavated to reveal the edges of the spread before full excavation. There was a stone culvert aligned south-west/ north-east at the north-western corner of the site. A pit-like feature was situated close to the western edge of the spread. It was 1.17m long, 1.1m wide and 0.45m deep. The fill comprised two deposits: a lower deposit of grey/brown silty clay, large sandstone blocks, numerous burnt stone fragments and spots of charcoal, and an upper deposit of dark grey, silty clay, charcoal, ash and burnt stone fragments. A second cut was a linear feature close to the northern limit of the burnt spread. It had an excavated length (north-west/south-east) of 1.75m and was 0.75m wide and 0.22m deep. The fill was grey/pale grey, silty clay. The fully exposed burnt stone spread measured 8.5m (north–south) by 5.5m and was up to 0.25m thick. A short curving channel in the boulder-clay surface was found directly underneath the spread. This feature was 2.7m long (south-west/ north-east), up to 1m wide, and up to 0.5m deep on the western side’ (www.excavations.ie 2002 No. 1143) Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date upload: 1 July 2020

  Description

  Identified by Ken Wiggins as BGE 4/3/2 during archaeological monitoring (License 02E1649) along the Bord Gáis Éireann, Barnakyle to Coonagh West gas pipeline (Wiggins 2003). Excavated under licence no. 02E1736 by Wiggins (Wiggins 2003), the results of which were summarised as following; ‘identified as a series of large patches of dark, charcoal-rich clay and burnt stones. The full dimensions of the site were 13m (north–south) by 7m. Excavation took place from 4 to 9 December 2002. A number of cuts were identified in the subsoil. The largest of these was a field ditch aligned east–west, dividing the site into two halves. A wide but shallow pit-like feature, 3.3m in diameter and up to 0.22m deep, was situated on the northern side of the ditch. The fill was dark grey, charcoal-rich clay, containing numerous burnt stone fragments. There was a thin, amorphous spread of burnt stone material on the southern side of the ditch, 3.3m long (east–west), 1.8m wide and up to 0.06m thick. There were two cuts on the southern side of the ditch. One was 2m long (north–south), 1.35m wide and 0.24m deep, and the other was 1.5m long (east–west), 1.2m wide and 0.25m deep. The fill consisted of a basal layer of black, charcoal-like clay, with numerous burnt stone fragments, and an upper deposit of grey silty clay and gravel. The ditch forming the centre of the site had an exposed length of 8m (east–west). It was 0.65m deep and typically 2.4–3.2m wide. However, there was an expansion on the southern side, increasing the width to 3.7m. The ditch was not excavated in full, as it was of relatively recent origin. It was backfilled with grey/brown, topsoil-type clay, containing brick fragments, over a primary fill of dark grey, silty clay, containing stone and animal bone' (www.excavations.ie 2002, No. 1144).
