2010:092 - CLOONEY: Hurler’s Cross, Clare

Testing was undertaken prior to the development of a single dwelling. The site was situated immediately beside CL034–235, which is described as a standing stone, and CL034–084, which is described as the site of a 17th-century house. Testing took the form of four machine-excavated trenches. The topsoil was between 0.1m and 0.2m thick and was located immediately above the limestone bedrock in three of the trenches, and a moderately compact mid-brown silty clay in the fourth. No archaeological features were identified in any of the test-trenches.
