The excavation was carried out between 04 December 2006 and 31 March 2007 under Ministerial Direction Number A008/025 issued by DOEHLG in consultation with the NMI. Excavation commenced in the northeastern corner of the field (Area 1), revealing a complex of ditches, pits and postholes, some extending beyond the excavation area to the south and west. A subsequent geophysical survey carried out by Target Archaeological Geophysics in January 2007 under Ministerial Direction A008/080 located a number of ill-defined linears and other magnetic responses towards the centre of the survey area, west and south of excavation Area 1. Many of these were thought to represent recent agricultural activity or geological anomalies (Nicholls & Shiels 2007). Topsoil stripping of the entire field took place in February 2007 and a large extensive site was identified. The site itself was divided into four separate areas for the purpose of the excavation: Area 1a, Area 1b, Area 2a and Area 2b. The largest and most substantial area contained the entire northeastern extent of the site and was labelled Area 1a. Numerous ditches, gullies, linear features, three kilns, two possible kilns, a possible structure, a possible palisade of posts, and isolated scattered pits and postholes were located here. Three of the ditch features within this section of the site were dated from the fifth–seventh centuries AD and two of the kilns were dated from the sixth–eighth centuries AD which would place activity within this area to the early medieval period. No area of occupation was identified within Area 1a (absence of hearths, domestic finds etc) and the identified structure was quite small (diameter c. 2.5m) and not large enough to have functioned as a house structure. It is possible that it functioned as a temporary feature and may have been associated with the nearby kilns. It is likely that the series of ditches and gullies represented contemporary and successive small enclosures/field systems and drainage features and were associated with agricultural activities. The presence of kilns would also reinforce this: it was not unusual for kilns to be located within an area that was been utilised for farming purposes etc. and away from the actual settlement area. It is, however, quite possible that an associated early medieval settlement site lies – as of yet undiscovered – outside the proposed roadtake. Finds from this section of the site were few but included lithic artefacts (majority of which were redeposited and in fact prehistoric in date (late Mesolithic, early Neolithic and late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age) and not contemporary with the early medieval phase of activity), local medieval pottery (two sherds), local fine ware (two sherds), imported E-ware (two sherds), horseshoe fragment, two small fragments of slag, a possible quernstone fragment, possible wooden peg, and a possible fragment of leather. ii Castletown Tara 1, A008/025 M3 Clonee–North of Kells Motorway Scheme Area 1b was situated southwest of Area 1a and was dominated by agricultural activity in the form of land drains and plough furrows. The only notable feature within this area was a single pit that contained charcoal burnt bone and a piece of flint. The date of this feature is not known. Area 2a was located to the south and southwest of Area 1. Two features of archaeological significance were identified and consisted of the remains of a possible hearth and a single pit. Charcoal flecks and burnt clay were recovered from both features. The date of these features is also unknown. The final area, Area 2b, was located upslope and to the south of Area 1 and Area 2a and was located adjacent to the southern boundary of the site, approximately 60m south of Area 1 and contained the remains of 18 cremation pits, one possible cremation pit, three postholes, a pit, and a possible cut. The cremation pits were located in two small clusters: 15 were located along the western boundary and four were located at a short distance to the ESE. A significant quantity of charcoal, charred remains and lithic artefacts were recovered from the cremation pits. The cremated bone from a single pit could be identified as possibly human and bone from a second could be identified as animal. It would appear that these features represent the remains of a prehistoric cemetery site. A single cremation pit was radiocarbon dated to the late Neolithic period and it is possible that the entire cemetery dates to this period. Castletown Tara 1 therefore is a site that displays evidence of usage at various intervals throughout the prehistoric and historic period. The analysis of the lithic artefacts (although not from secure contexts) would suggest a presence in this area from the late Mesolithic, through to the early Neolithic and early Neolithic/Late Bronze Age. This late Neolithic presence is reconfirmed by the radiocarbon date obtained from a crab apple recovered from one of the cremation pits. The site was subsequently abandoned and was seemingly not utilised until the early medieval period. Radiocarbon dating would suggest that this site was then used from the fifth–eighth centuries AD. The recovery of local medieval pottery and local fine wares would suggest a presence within the area from the 13th–14th centuries (pottery recovered from hillwash and not secure stratigraphic contexts). iii Castletown Tara 1, A008/025 M3 Clonee–North of Kells Motorway Scheme CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Development 1 2 EXCAVATION 2 2.1 Results 3 2.1.1 Area 1a 3 2.1.2 Area 1b 12 2.1.3 Area 2a 13 2.1.4 Area 2b 13 2.2 Finds 18 3 DISCUSSION 21 3.1 Form and function 21 3.1.1 Area 1a 21 3.1.2 Area 2b 25 3.1.3 Conclusion 27 3.1.4 Surrounding Environment 28 3.2 Date and sequence 30 4 CONCLUSIONS 32 5 REFERENCES 32 APPENDIX 1 Context Details APPENDIX 2 Finds List APPENDIX 3 Sample List APPENDIX 4 Topsoil Assessment: Maria Lear & Stuart Rathbone APPENDIX 5 Radiocarbon Dates APPENDIX 6 Animal Bone Report: Charlotte Coles APPENDIX 7 Environmental Report: Archaeological Services University of Durham APPENDIX 8 Medieval Pottery: Niamh Doyle APPENDIX 9 Imported Pottery: Ian Doyle APPENDIX 10 Leather Report: John Nicholl APPENDIX 11 Archaeometallurgical Report: Angela Wallace APPENDIX 12 Wood Remains: Ellen O’Carroll APPENDIX 13 Lithics and Worked Stone Report: Graeme Warren APPENDIX 14 Cereal drying and Metallurgy at Lismullin Co Meath: A preliminary analysis: Jonathan Kinsella FIGURE LIST Figure 1: Location of Castletown Tara 1 Figure 2: Location of Castletown Tara 1 on current OS background iv Castletown Tara 1, A008/025 M3 Clonee–North of Kells Motorway Scheme Figure 3: Castletown Tara 1, extract from 1st edition OS, Meath sheets 31 & 32 Figure 4: Castletown Tara 1, extract from 2nd edition OS, Meath sheets 31 & 32 Figure 5: Castletown Tara 1, extract from 3rd edition OS, Meath sheets 31 & 32 Figure 6: Detailed location of Castletown Tara 1 Figure 7: Post-excavation plan of site Figure 8: Post-excavation plan of Area 1a Figure 9: Post-excavation plan of Area 2a and b Figure 10: Sections Figure 11: Sections Figure 12: Sections Figure 13: Sections Figure 14: Sections Figure 15: Sections Figure 16: Sections Figure 17: Sections Figure 18: Sections Figure 19: Profiles Figure 20: Profiles Figure 21: Sections PLATE LIST Plate 1: Section through Curvilinear B from east Plate 2: Section through Linear F from east Plate 3: Section through Rectilinear J from south Plate 4: Section through Curvilinear M from south-east Plate 5: Stake-built structure, post-excavation from north-east Plate 6: Post row/fence, post-excavation from north Plate 7: Kiln 1, post-excavation from north Plate 8: Kiln 2, post-excavation from south-west Plate 9: Kiln 2, flue mid-excavation from south-west Plate 10: Kiln 3, post-excavation from east Plate 11: Area 1, post-excavation from west Plate 12: Cremation

    L . o . 4 .0 «? ■ U i H NUI MAYNOOTH Qll*c«il n> h£jf**nn Ml Nuad The Tara/Skryne Valley and the M3 Motorway; Development vs. Heritage. Edel Reynolds 2005 Supervisor: Dr. Ronan Foley Head of Department: Professor James Walsh Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the M.A. (Geographical Analysis), Department of Geography, National University of Ireland, Maynooth. Abstract This thesis is about the conflict concerning the building of the MB motorway in an archaeologically sensitive area close to the Hill of Tara in Co. Meath. The main aim of this thesis was to examine the conflict between development and heritage in relation to the Tara/Skryne Valley; therefore the focus has been to investigate the planning process. It has been found that both the planning process and the Environmental Impact Assessment system in Ireland is inadequate. Another aspect of the conflict that was explored was the issue of insiders and outsiders. Through the examination of both quantitative and qualitative data, the conclusion has been reached that the majority of insiders, people from the Tara area, do in fact want the M3 to be built. This is contrary to the idea that was portrayed by the media that most people were opposed to the construction of the motorway. Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Ronan Foley, for all of his help and guidance over the last few months. Thanks to my parents, Helen and Liam and sisters, Anne and Nora for all of their encouragement over the last few months and particularly the last few days! I would especially like to thank my mother for driving me to Cavan on her precious day off, and for calming me down when I got stressed! Thanks to Yvonne for giving me the grand tour of Cavan, and for helping me carry out surveys there.

  • Noise and Vibration
    North-South 400 kV Interconnection Development Environmental Impact Statement Volume 3D 9 AIR - NOISE AND VIBRATION 9.1 INTRODUCTION 1 This chapter evaluates the noise and vibration impacts arising from the proposed 400 kV overhead line (OHL) and associated development including the extension of Woodland Substation as set out in Chapter 6, Volume 3B of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). That chapter describes the full nature and extent of the proposed development, including elements of the OHL design and the towers. It provides a factual description, on a section by section basis, of the entire line route, including that portion within the Meath Study Area (MSA). The proposed line route is described in that chapter using townlands and tower numbers as a reference. The principal construction works proposed as part of the proposed development are set out in Chapter 7, Volume 3B of the EIS. 2 The information contained within this chapter is concerned with noise and vibration in the MSA as defined in Chapter 5, Volume 3B of the EIS. This evaluation deals with ‗audible‘ noise and vibration. 3 This evaluation considers an area in excess of 100m either side of the proposed alignment. The evaluation focuses on the construction, operation and decommissioning aspects of the proposed development. 4 This evaluation was prepared in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency‘s (EPA) Guidelines on the information to be contained in Environmental Impact Statements (March 2002) and Advice Notes on Current Practice in the preparation of EIS (September 2003). 5 This chapter should be read in conjunction with Chapter 7, Volume 3B of the EIS and Chapter 13 in this volume of the EIS.

    Dissertation Title: The Pollution Potential of Road Salt on Freshwater Environments in Ireland Author: David Kelly BSc. Academic Year: 2013/2014 Supervisor: Dr. Frances Lucy (I.T Sligo) Submitted: July 2014 This dissertation is submitted as part fulfilment of the MSc. in Environmental Protection, Institute of Technology, Sligo Plagiarism Declaration I hereby declare that this dissertation is all my own work and contains no plagiarism. Any text, diagrams or other material copied from other sources (including, but not limited to, books, journals and the internet) have been clearly acknowledged and referenced as such in the text. I also declare that the data collected for this dissertation has not been submitted to any other Institute or University for the award of any other third level qualification. Signed: Date: 7 th July 2014 Abstract Road salt or rock salt as it is sometimes known, is a commonly used de-icing material and is used throughout Ireland by local authorities (i.e. county councils), private road operators and members of the public during times of freezing weather. County councils, road authorities and private road operators apply road salt as required as part of their winter road maintenance programs. The road salt used is predominantly sodium chloride (NaCl) as it is relatively inexpensive when compared to other de-icing agents, easy to manufacture and readily available. A number of negative environmental effects and a loss in water quality have been associated with stormwater (melt water) containing dissolved road salt entering fresh waterbodies in the vicinity of roads which are de-iced with sodium chloride.
