Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Short article describing the most southerly court tomb in Ireland which is located at Mine Head, Ardmore, Co Waterford. When the monument was excavated in 1938, one of its two chambers was found to have been disturbed by treasure hunters and so produced only a few flint flakes, three of which may have been worked. The second chamber was, however, undisturbed and contained the remains of at least two pots (one of which was decorated), some cremated bone, and a 5 cm diameter disc of old red sandstone. Three of the potsherds were recently identified as Ballyalton ware, suggesting an early date for the tomb (c. 4000 ~BC). Also refers to the involvement of local amateur archaeologist Laurence Mongey (see 94/887) in the site's excavation. | ||||||||
