- Description
-
The proposed M7 Portlaoise to Castletown/M8 Portlaoise to Cullahill Motorway Scheme consists of approximately 41km of motorway and 11km of single dual carriageway commencing to the southwest of the existing Portlaoise Bypass and running in a southern direction tying into the existing N8 at Oldtown. A portion of the scheme runs to the west tying into the existing N7 near Borris-in-Ossory. The Archaeological Works contract is subdivided into three separate contracts. The following report describes the results of archaeological excavation along one section of the planned M8 Portlaoise to Cullahill Motorway Scheme, at Boherard, County Laois, Contract 2. Contract 2 consists of 11 km of motorway, which extends east west from Aghaboe to west of Borris in Ossory through the townlands from Coolfin to Townsparks and Derrinsallagh. The site was identified during archaeological testing carried out by Robert O’Hara of Archaeological Consultancy Services Ltd in March-May 2005 under ministerial direction (A015/029) from The Minister of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, issued in consultation with the National Museum of Ireland (NMI) issued under Section 14 of the National Monuments (Amendment) Act 2004. A total of 20 trenches were excavated within two fields and the remains of a fulacht fiadh/burnt mound were identified. The site was designated Boherard 2. Archaeological resolution of Boherard 2 commenced on 12th June 2006 by Ed Danaher of Archaeological Consultancy Services Ltd. For recording purposes, the site was designated the scheme no. A015/130 and record no. E2239. Topsoil stripping revealed two separate ploughed out fulachta fiadh with associated outlier pits. A possibly unrelated pit containing sherds of Beaker pottery, flint and a hammerstone was also present within the site. The site was divided into four Zones for ease of recording, a stream separated Zone A (outlier pits) from Zones B (fulacht fiadh no. 1), C (fulacht fiadh no. 1) and D (outlier pits). Six sherds of Beaker pottery, a possible flint scraper, flint debitage and a hammerstone (E2239:12:1-9) were recorded in one pit. The site has been dated to the Early Bronze Age (See Appendix 10.5).
