• WX034-087 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  Located in the valley of a SE-NW stream with an E-W section of the stream c. 35m to the S. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified a sub-triangular pit with steep sides filled with sandy clay that had some charcoal inclusions but the surrounding subsoil was oxidized (Doyle et al. 2010, 31). It was set aside for resolution as Camlin 1 and completely excavated (E4106). The pit (dims 2.1m E-W; 1.4m N-S; D 0.2m) contained fills of sandy silts and clays with charcoal inclusions where a hone stone and a hammer-stone were found. It is interpreted as a primitive corn-drying kiln, and some charcoal-rich spreads nearby are interpreted as rake-out. Five pits (dims 0.4m x 0.38m; D 0.13m to 2.6m x 1.8m; D 0.2m) in the vicinity were probably connected with the kiln, and a narrow curvilinear trench (L 10.6m; Wth 0.5m; D 0.3m) to the E is interpreted as the foundation of a wind-break. Fifteen sherds of medieval pottery were recovered in the topsoil. (Long et al. 2010, 8-12; Hackett 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 September, 2013

• WX034-088 Burnt mound
  Description

  Located in the valley of a SE-NW stream, with an E-W section of the stream immediately to the S. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified a number of spreads of burnt stone in a natural hollow. Some were C-shaped or oval (dims. 1m x 0.7m to 5m x 1m) in plan (Doyle et al. 2010, 31-2). It was excavated (E4103) as a part of Camlin 2 (Area A) when two pits (dims 0.57m x 0.47m; D 0.06m: 2.2m NE-SW; 1.4m NE-SW; D 0.27m) were recorded, the latter with a large stone content in the fill, but it is uncertain if it was burnt. Nevertheless, it probably represents the trough of a fulacht fia. (Long and Hackett 2010, 8; Hackett 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 September, 2013

• WX034-089 Burnt mound
  Description

  Located in the valley of a SE-NW stream, with an E-W section of the stream c. 10m to the S. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified a large feature (dims. 4m NE-SW; 2.7m NW-SE) filled with a sandy brown clay that had some charcoal inclusions (Doyle et al. 2010, 31-2). It was partially excavated (E4103) as a part of Camlin 2 (Area B) when the most significant feature recorded was a portion of a burnt spread (dims 4.6m NE-SW; 3.14m NW-SE; T 0.22m) that extended outside the excavation to the E. An oval cut (dims 1.30m NW-SE; 0.75m NE-SW; T 0.24m) with a large charcoal content was 3m to the N and may be a hearth, but no evidence of a trough was recovered.

• WX034-090 Pit-burial
  Description

  Located towards the bottom of a S-facing slope of Camlin Hill, with an E-W section of a SE-NW stream c. 100m to the S. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass (Doyle et al. 2010, 32-3) identified a pit-burial (diam. 0.35m). A large oval pit (dims. 3.1m x 2.2m) with a boulder in the fill was just S of the pit-burial, and the boulder was visible on the surface. The pit (diam. 0.35m) with an inverted urn was excavated (E4104) as Camlin 3 when it was block-lifted for conservation (Hackett 2010; Hackett 2013). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 September, 2013

• WX034-091 Flat cemetery
  Description

  Located on a slight SW-facing slope on the S-facing slope of Camlin Hill. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified a flat cemetery (Doyle et al. 2010, 33-4) in a concentrated area (dims. c. 10m NW-SE; c. 7m NE-SW) that had about 30 pits (diam. 0.28-0.35m), some of the pits lying outside the core. The cemetery was completely excavated (E4101) as Camlin 4, when two major phases of activity were identified. The first consisted of three cremation burials, two post-holes and a stake-hole that pre-dated the second phase when a layer of reddish-brown silty sand (dims c. 14m NE-SW; c. 11m NW-SE) was introduced. The third phase was represented by 35 cremation burials and an inverted urn burial that were inserted into or through the introduced layer. A larger oval pit (dims 1.2m x 0.8m; D 0.22m) from this phase contained flecks of charcoal and cremated bone. Five pits, a post-hole and a small spread with charcoal flecks were outside the deliberately-laid layer and might belong to either phase. The cremation burials were in shallow pits (diam. c . 0.3-0.5m; D 0.1-0.4m) filled with silty clays that had charcoal inclusions but many of the pits had no visible cremated bone and many had only token amounts.

• WX034-091001 Ring-ditch
  Description

  Located on the S-facing slope of Camlin Hill. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified a ring-ditch (int. diam. 3m; ext. diam. 5m) that was partly exposed with an entrance (Wth c. 0.8m) at E (Doyle et al. 2010, 33-4). The ditch (Wth 0.42m; D 0.18m) was sampled but produced no material. Just 7m E of the ring-ditch is the concentrated core area of the flat cemetery (WX034-091----).

• WX034-092 Furnace
  Description

  Located towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope in the valley of a SE-NW stream at a point where the stream, which is c. 60m to the SW, turns W. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified an interrupted but curving trench (Wth 0.7m; D 0.1-0.3m; C 15.2m) (Doyle et al. 2010, 34-5), which when further excavated (E4100) as Camlin 5 proved to be so shallow that it could be interpreted as late furrows. However, a sequence of pits (dims 0.5-0.6m; D 0.2m) are interpreted as furnace bowls and tapping pits, sometimes with traces of stone-lining, although no furnace material was found in them. Four discrete pits (dims 1.6m x 0.85m; D 0.5m to 2.9m x 1.4m; D 0.9m) were also excavated, one of which had sherds of medieval pottery (Clark and Hackett 2010, 8-12; 2013).

• WX034-093 Charcoal-making site
  Description

  Located on a SW-facing slope c. 300m SW of a col between Camlin Hill c. 400m NW of the col and an E-W spur of Ballylane Hill that rises to the E of the col. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified an oval charcoal-production pit (dims. 3.2m E-W; 1.35m N-S; D 0.14m) with a fill of brown sandy clay that had charcoal inclusions. A small pit (diam. 0.3m; D 0.1m) filled with brown sandy clay and some charcoal was 11m to the SW but it may be unrelated. The charcoal-pit is set aside for resolution as Camlin 6, but no further work seems to have been conducted at it.

• WX034-094 Charcoal-making site
  Description

  Located on a col between Camlin Hill c. 400m NW and an E-W spur of Ballylane Hill that rises to the E of the col. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified an oval charcoal-production pit (Doyle et al. 2010, 35). It was set aside for resolution as Camlin 7 and was completely excavated (E4105) when it proved to be a subcircular pit (diam. 1.7-1.8m; D 0.28m) with two fills of clay and sandy silts with charcoal inclusions, the lower of which produced a calibrated C14 date of AD 1020-1160 (Eogan and Kelly 2016, 234). A NW-SE field bank with two ditches was c. 4m to the SW and these produced medieval and post-medieval pottery.

• WX034-095 Charcoal-making site
  Description

  Located on a SW-facing slope c. 350m SW of a col between Camlin Hill c. 400m NW of the col and an E-W spur of Ballylane Hill that rises to the E of the col. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross bypass identified an oval charcoal-production pit (dims. 1.49m NE-SW; 0.96m N-S; max. D 0.07m) that had a fill of reddish-brown sandy clay with charcoal inclusions. This pit produced a calibrated C14 date of AD 1020-1160 (Eogan and Kelly 2016, 234). The site was set aside for resolution as Camlin 8, Area A (Doyle et al. 2010, 35) when further excavation (E4113) identified a second pit (dims 0.72m x 0.64m; D 0.18m) that is probably contemporary but which contained no traces of charcoal (Clark and Hackett 2010, 8; Hackett 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 September, 2013

• WX034-096 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Located on a SW-facing slope c. 300m SW of a col between Camlin Hill c. 400m NW of the col and an E-W spur of Ballylane Hill that rises to the E of the col. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified a pit (diam. 0.95-1m; D 0.28m), a hearth (dims. 0.3m x 0.4m; D 0.1m) and a possible slot-trench (L 2.6m Wth 0.75m; D 0.23m) that had a fill of grey-brown silty clay with charcoal inclusions (Doyle et al. 2010, 36). It was set aside for resolution as Camlin 8, Area B when further excavation (E4113) identified a pit (dims 1.1m x 1m; D 0.25m) occupied by a large stone with a smaller pit (dims 0.3m x 0.28m; D 0.09m) to the E as well as post-medieval features (Clark and Hackett 2010, 9; Hackett 2013).

• WX034-100 Pit-burial
  Description

  Located in the valley of a SE-NW stream on a slight ridge. It is on the S bank of an E-W section with the stream c. 10m to the N. Centre-line testing (E4067) in advance of the N25 New Ross by-pass identified and completely excavated a small subcircular pit (diam. 0.7-0.8m; D 0.6m) filled with grey-brown sandy clay that had charcoal inclusions, and two sherds of pottery were recovered. The pit was sealed with redeposited subsoil. A second pit (diam. 0.35m; D 0.3m) 2.2m to the WSW was filled with some loose stones and red clay with some charcoal. This pit was disturbed during the trenching and sherds of poorly preserved pottery may have been destroyed. (Hackett et al. 2009, 47-8) Compiled by: Michael Moore 17 September, 2012
