2012:130 - KNOCKLOUGHRIM QUARRY, Cabragh, Derry

Monitoring of groundworks associated with the extension of Knockloughrim Quarry was carried out during August and September 2012. Several archaeological features were identified including five cremations, forty-four pits, forty post-holes and thirteen stake-holes. Four of the cremations were located in simple pits while the fifth was contained within an inverted urn. The pits, post- and stake-holes were scattered across the site and no structure, apart from a possible windbreak, was identified. Finds from the site include prehistoric pottery and flint artefacts.
