Archaeological Excavation Report

Two Neolithic Structures and two Fulachta Fiadh

The excavation of the site at Ballinglanna North 3 revealed the remains of one well-preserved rectangular building (Structure 1) that was dated to the Early Neolithic. There was also evidence for extensive activity in the area outside Structure 1. A second building (Structure 2) was also rectangular in plan and pottery from the area suggests that this was also Early Neolithic in date. This second house was, however, disturbed and somewhat truncated. Other archaeological activity at this site included the remains of two burnt mounds/fulachta fiadh (Burnt mound 1 and 2).
