The excavation of two prehistoric ring-ditches and associated burials at Kilbrew, Co. Meath (original) (raw)
A rescue excavation undertaken in Kilbrew townland, Co. Meath, focused on two prehistoric ring-ditches discovered by geophysical survey in 2013. The objective was to recover burials exposed in two test trenches previously excavated in 2014, and submit those remains for scientific analysis and radiocarbon dating. The burials are from two adjacent ring-ditches built at different times during the Bronze Age. One of the ring-ditches was reused during the later Iron Age/early medieval period, with an inhumation burial discovered at the centre of the monument.
