Charcoal yielded an Early Bronze Age date, in common with material from other burnt mound sites nearby. This is one of five Bronze Age sites excavated along this portion of the new road.

Introduction This report comprises the final excavation report for a burnt mound found at Urraghry, Co. Galway during archaeological testing within the lands acquired for the new N6 Galway to Ballinasloe dual carriageway road scheme (O’Donoghue et al. 2006, Figure 1). The site comprised a burnt mound and trough with fifteen stake-holes, as well as a paleochannel and gully. Charcoal from the site yielded two Early Bronze Age radiocarbon dates. 2. Site Location, Topography and Soils The burnt mound was located within Urraghry townland at NGR 180424 228489. The site was located at the eastern edge of low lying reclaimed peatland (Plate 1), adjacent to a natural water course. The local soils were classified as grey brown podzolics, with associated brown earths, gleys and basin peat. These soils have a moderately wide use range and are good for cereal, fruit and vegetable cultivation (Gardiner & Radford 1980). The site is situated within a gently undulating glacial landscape used as open pastureland with isolated areas of peat. The solid bedrock is Middle to Upper Carboniferous Limestones, with Calp Limestones predominating in the area of this site. The Quaternary deposits in the region are undulating glacial drift with some post-glacial peat and alluvial deposits. Trial pit- ting for the Environmental Impact Assessment report indicated that the subsoil in the area of Urraghry was sandy till. 3. Background to the Development The excavation was undertaken by Eachtra Archaeological Projects for Galway County Council and the National Roads Authority and forms part of wider archaeological excavation programme undertaken by Eachtra within approximately 15 km of the proposed N6 Galway

On December 7th 1914, the leader of the Irish Home Rule party, John Redmond, arrived in Tuam to speak to members of the Irish Volunteers. A few weeks before in August Britain had declared war on Germany and Redmond had in September (in a speech in Woodenbridge, Co Wexford) urged the Irish Volunteers to join the British Army: ‘Go on drilling and make yourself efficient for the work, and then account for yourselves as men, not only in Ireland itself, but wherever the firing line extends in defence of right, of freedom and religion in this war.’ He now arrived in Tuam by train to speak to the Volunteers there and to encourage them to do the same.
