Preliminary Results of Excavation

Archaeological excavation at Leshemstown 1 was undertaken by ACS Ltd in January 2006 and is now complete. Post-excavation analysis is complete.

The site consisted of a fulacht fiadh with the remains of a shallow crescent shaped mound of burnt stone and charcoal with associated features. A deep sub-oval trough and a series of shallow pits were excavated, as was a large sub-circular pit which appears to pre-date the burnt mound.
