- Title
- Archaeological excavation report, 01E699 Castletown Site 4, County Kildare.
- Description
-
This report details the final results from the archaeological excavation of site 4 on the M4 Celbridge Interchange Scheme, Co. Kildare on behalf of Kildare County Council. The excavation was conducted by Hilary Opie for Valerie J. Keeley Ltd under Licence number 01E0669. The site was found during monitoring of the 4 km long scheme as part of eighteen identified sites. There were no upstanding visible remains of the site prior to topsoil stripping. The site was located on land that was formally part of the Castletown Demesne. In particular, it was in the northwest comer of the field that was known as Deer Park 3. The site consisted of a Prehistoric phase and a later possibly early medieval phase of activity. The prehistoric phase was represented by a ring ditch and a number of linear ditches in conjunction with several pits. Deposits of cremated human and cremated and unburnt animal bone, and pottery were subsequently placed in the ring ditch and one of the linear ditches and are likely to be of ritual character. A sample of cremated bone from the fill of the ring ditch was radiocarbon dated to 978-827 cal BC (SUERC-39064). The pottery was identified as belonging to two vessels, and typologically dated to the Bronze Age. There were no signs of settlement or domestic occupation on site. In a much later phase of activity, a kiln possibly used for corn-drying and a pit were constructed over one of the infilled ditches. The kiln seemed to have been used over a period of time, as two different flues had been constructed. The recovery of a millstone and reaping hook suggest this kiln dated to the Early Christian/early medieval period.
