- Title
- Archaeological excavation report, E2662 Williamstown 4, County Westmeath.
- Description
-
This site is located in the townland of Williamstown, c. 4km W of Moate town, Co. Westmeath. The archaeological excavation was carried out by Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd on behalf of Westmeath County Council and the National Roads Authority in advance of the construction of the N6 Phase 2: Kilbeggan to Athlone Dual Carriageway Scheme. An excavation area measuring 10m x 10m (100m²) was opened at Williamstown 4. The site at Williamstown 4 consisted of a single pit; measuring 2.25m long, 1.10m wide and c. 0.52m deep, the pit contained four fills. The function of this feature is unknown, particularly as it occurs in isolation and there were no diagnostic finds from the site. This pit may be modern and is of little or no archaeological significance. Irish Archaeological
