2007:1345 - LAYTOWN, Meath

Test-trenching was carried out as part of further information for a school development at Laytown, Co. Meath, in an area where archaeological remains have been uncovered in adjacent development sites. A series of trenches were subsequently excavated by mechanical digger across the site. Two potential ditches were uncovered in Trench 7 at the north of the proposed development. This is partially within the construction area. The ditch may be associated with reclamation works evident across the site. Alternatively the ditches may be part of a large enclosure with an internal diameter of 61m. There was also no evidence of an associated bank. No other features were uncovered associated with these potential ditches.
