Archaeological Excavation Report

Prehistoric site with enclosure, structures, two ring ditches and associated cist burials

The excavation of the site at Ballynacarriga 3 revealed a multi-period site with several phases of activity including an Early Neolithic hearth, some Middle Neolithic pottery (probably re-deposited), a Late Neolithic settlement with identifiable structures, some Beaker pottery, Early Bronze Age burials and associated ring ditches. There was some Iron Age activity, mostly represented by radiocarbon dates. An enclosure that surrounded the Late Neolithic settlement appears to be medieval or later in date, and was probably associated with later field systems.
