This Stage (iv) Excavation Report details the results of the archaeological excavation at Cloondeash 1 (ITM 513411, 787380) in advance of the construction of the proposed N5 Westport to Turlough Road Project, which extends between the townlands of Westport Demesne and Liscromwell in County Mayo. The site was identified during Stage (i) archaeological test excavations of the proposed N5 Westport to Turlough Road Project (A0069: E004621) carried out by Archaeological Consultancy Services Unit between August and October 2015. The subsequent excavation was undertaken by Joe Nunan between 6 and 12 August 2016 under Ministerial Direction Number A0069 and Registration Number E004702, issued by the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs in consultation with the National Museum of Ireland. An area measuring 400 m² was stripped of topsoil and excavated at Cloondeash 1. This confirmed the presence of a burnt mound (F03) and a trough (F04) with an associated water-inlet channel (F07), which were exposed at a depth of 0.23 m beneath the sod and topsoil. The sub-oval trough measured 1.65 m in length (E/W), 1.23 m in width (N/S) and up to 0.27 m in depth, with a single piece of heavily degraded wood (F09) located centrally, just above the base, and possibly representing the remains of a trough lining. At the western side was the water-inlet channel, which had a natural spring and was positioned on a higher elevation. The water channel narrowed at the southern end, perhaps to direct an excess of water away from the trough and working area. It was exposed for a length of 1.54 m (N/S) by 0.52 m in width (E/W) and was up to 0.12 m in depth. The overlying, extant burnt mound was roughly oval in plan, up to 0.30 m in thickness and comprised heat-shattered sandstone in a compact brown/black silty clay matrix with charcoal fragments. Hazel charcoal from the burnt mound returned a Middle Bronze Age date of 1611–1435 cal. BC (3245 ± 35 BP; Poz-97546). The site has been interpreted as the remains of a fulacht fia and it was discovered 375 m and 405 m to the north-east of Cloondeash 3 (E004704) and Cloondeash 4 (E004705) respectively. Hazel charcoal from the burnt mounds at both sites returned comparable dates of 1617–1449 cal. BC (3265 ± 35 BP, Poz-97547; Nunan 2019a) and 1608–1425 cal. BC (3235 ± 35 BP, Poz-97591; 2019b), suggesting further occupation in this townland during the Middle Bronze Age.
