- WI004-006 Pier/Jetty
Description
Seventeen oak timbers (L 0.5m - 3.4m; Wth 0.12m-0.6m; T 0.08m-0.22m) located on a gravel surface were uncovered here in 1995 as part of works associated with widening the river (Excavation Licence 95E0004). The timbers were in two groups, 2.2m apart. Most of the timbers in the larger group (14) lay parallel to one another, and two of those in the smaller group appeared to be parallel. A radiocarbon date of 4661-4360 BC was returned for one of the timbers. The identification of these timbers as an archaeological structure is not certain and the excavator (McDermott 1995, 5) suggested that 'the most likely purpose for a structure at Killarney was as a landing place for log boats'. (McDermott 1995, 1-5). Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 29 January 2013
