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.
Composed of east-west longitudinally set brushwoods/roundwoods, with some transversely set brushwoods with no clear orientation, this site runs under site 13LIS-040 and runs out from site 13LIS-039; there is a series of pegs in the northern edge and some in the south west end
This site was fully resolved and no further archaeological mitigation is required.
