This report comprises the final results of the archaeological excavation of Site AR 37, in the townland of Borris, Co. Tipperary North Riding. Work was undertaken as part of the archaeological programme for the M8N8 Cullahill to Cashel Road Improvement Scheme. Excavation was conducted under Ministerial Directive No. A027/000, Registration number E2379, by Gary Conboy, for Valerie J Keeley Ltd, from 9th of October to 27th of October 2006. Excavation of this site revealed three groups of similar features located throughout the site including a burnt mound (Site A), plus an unaccompanied troughs and associated pits and two isolated clusters of pits. The earliest activity on the site took place to the north (Group 1). An unaccompanied trough produced a middle Bronze Age date of 1740 – 1520 cal BC. A trough excavated from under the burnt mound (Site A), located 30m to the south of Group 1, produced a second middle Bronze Age date of 1367 – 1129 cal BC. In addition, several post medieval linear ditches and field boundaries were also excavated. All archaeological work is now complete for this site and this report constitutes the final report on this excavation. A digital copy of the archive is available at the post excavation offices of Valerie J Keeley Ltd, Brehon House, Kilkenny Road, Castlecomer, Co. Kilkenny.
