- Archaeological excavation report, E4011 Rathduff Bayley 1, County Kilkenny.
- Description
-
Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd (IAC), funded by the National Roads Authority (NRA) through Kilkenny County Council, undertook an excavation at the site of Rathduff Bayley 1 along the proposed N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford Scheme, Phase 4 – Knocktopher to Powerstown (Figure 1). The following report describes the results of archaeological fieldwork at that site. The site was resolved during the later Phase 4B stage of the excavations in a previously untested area (due to flooding) within the geographical limits of Phase 4. The area was fully excavated by Tim Coughlan under Ministerial Direction (A032) and Registration Number (E4011) issued by the DOEHLG in consultation with the National Museum of Ireland for IAC. The fieldwork took place between 25 September and 1 October 2008. There was only one noticeable archaeological feature on the site which consisted of a large burnt mound spread which extended over an area 15m by 6m. It was orientated east-west and had a maximum depth of 0.80m. No features of archaeological significance were recorded beneath the mound although later disturbance was noticed above the mound in the form of a large tree bole. The taxa identified at Rathduff Bayley 1 may be taken as an indication of aspects of the local landscape during a period of time within the Bronze Age which appears to indicate a scrubbier terrain which was exploited by the inhabitants. A sample of Pomoideae charcoal from burnt mound deposit C3 was radiocarbon dated. The 2 sigma calibrated result was 1489–1300BC (UBA 15448). The middle Bronze Age burnt mound recorded at Rathduff Bayley 1 is a site of local importance as it represents the first evidence of prehistoric activity in the vicinity. The location of this site type adjacent to a river is not unexpected however, no features were identified on the site in the form of troughs and as such it adds little to our wider understanding of the nature of activity at burnt mound sites. It is also unclear what the precise nature of the activity at Rathduff Bayley 1 was, apart from showing evidence of the use of hot stone technology.
