- Description
-
This report documents the final results of an archaeological excavation of a presumed cashel (Site AR27) on the route of the N18 Ennis Bypass and N85 Western Relief Road at Carrowdotia, Co. Clare (NGR 137110 183590) (Fig. 1). The excavation forms part of the Ennis Bypass Archaeological Contract 5. A preliminary archaeological report for this site was produced in January 2004 (Taylor 2004). The 1840 Ordnance Survey map shows two enclosures, at least one of which was thought to be an Early Christian cashel or stone fort, however no surface expression of the monuments survive. The location of one of the enclosures was excavated in advance of road construction. No evidence of any structure was seen although several clearance cairns were recorded. It is possible that the enclosure was completely destroyed or that outcropping bedrock terraces had been mistaken for the foundations of a fort at the time of the 19th century survey.
