2022:582 - ARTHURSTOWN, BALLYHACK, DUNCANNON, Wexford

A new Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP), with three pumping stations and new drainage was installed for Irish Water in the Arthurstown/Ballyhack/Duncannon area of Co. Wexford. The site of the new WWTP, and part of the drainage route, had already been tested, and nothing of archaeological interest had emerged. A fulacht and two “roasting” pits were exposed and investigated at the WWTP site, a grain-drying kiln and several other archaeological features were exposed and investigated on the pipeline route, and a late medieval pocket of waterlogged debris was investigated at the pumping station at Ballyhack.
