Place & story
A pit, a ditch and a possible scraper
Ian W. Doyle’s monitoring of the Brownsbarn–Kilshane gas pipeline recorded a pit in Kingswood containing charcoal-darkened clay, silt and heat-fractured stone. He interpreted it as the possible remains of a fulacht fiadh. A large field ditch lay nearby, and a possible flint thumbnail scraper came from ploughsoil. The cautious identifications leave the site’s function and date open. [2]
