Following an assessment of the proposed impact of an extension to the Tailings Management Facility (TMF) in Lisheen Mine, 16 archaeological sightings were recorded in June 2013 (see 13E059). A programme of excavation was carried out between July and September 2013 which resulted in the excavation of these 16 sites and a further 28 sites which were identified during the course of excavation.
This site consisted of a single east-west orientated hazel brushwood measuring 0.49m long by 40mm in diameter. It was in poor condition. The brushwood was located on the field surface in yellow-brown sphagnum peat which was poorly humified and contained very frequent bog cotton inclusions.
This site was fully resolved and no further archaeological mitigation is required.
