Archaeological Excavation Report

Pits, postholes and hearths

The excavation of the site at Loughan comprised a small group of features; four pits, three posts and two hearths. An Early Bronze Age date was returned from one of the features. No structure was recorded but the group of features were probably domestic in origin, despite the lack of plant remains or artefactual evidence.
