Summary An area adjacent to a probable Early Christian cashel was excavated. Two small pits, one with evidence of metalworking, were possibly related to the fort. One of these pits was radiocarbon dated to between the 8th and 9th centuries AD. A gravel-surfaced roadway and flanking ditches were also examined. Pottery found in association with the roadway suggests that it was in use by the 17th century and that the route fell out of use in the late 19th or early 20th century.
