2016 - Preliminary Report on excavation 16E0130 Turlough Hill, Co. Clare.
Dr Ros Ó Maoldúin & Dr Noel McCarthy
This report details the preliminary results of an excavation on the western summit of Turlough Hill, in the Burren of Co. Clare. The excavation comprised two cuttings, each of which traversed a pair of conjoined house-foundations.
The excavations aimed to establish the date, cultural context and basic construction form of the house-foundations. There are approximately 160 such house-sites on Turlough Hill and they surround two presumably ritual monuments, a cairn and a labyrinthine-like enclosure.
No artefacts were found, however, a good amount of charcoal and other charred material retrieved during the excavation should allow for radiocarbon dating of the remains. Ten samples have been sent to the radiocarbon laboratory in Uppsala and we are currently awaiting the results.
