Abstract:
H 743837. A Neolithic house on the crown of a gravel hill near Cookstown is the focus of a settlement 60 metres wide where pits, hearths, post- and stakeholes have been examined. The house is a 6.5 x 6 metre rectangle defined by postholes and two parallel trenches which had contained thin oak planks set upright. Within were two hearths, Ballymarlagh sherds in a pit and in wall-trenches, leaf arrowheads, flint tools and waste; the assemblage compares with that from Carnanbane horned cairn. 14C dates of late 4th-early 3rd millennium obtained from a wall-trench and from the forest-clearance level in valley bog nearby confirm the early appearance of Ballymarlagh pottery. A house of Lengyel IV culture provides the best parallel to the Ballynagilly example, in proportion and structural method. In three extensive Bell Beaker sites close by, hearths, pits, stakeholes and a cooking trench have been found, but no clear house plan. Pottery, of North/Middle Rhine Beaker type unmixed with other elements, confirms the presence of Bell Beaker people in Ireland.
