Kilkenny<br />

A series of linear features outside the northeast of the site may represent field boundaries<br />

contemporary with the occupation of the enclosure. A corn-drying kiln (radiocarbon-dated to<br />

A.D. 1020-1258) was built over one of these ditches, and a blue glass bead was recovered<br />

from the ditch fill. <strong>The</strong> upper fill of this kiln contained oat, barley and wheat grains. An earlier<br />

corn-drying kiln (radiocarbon-dated to A.D. 778-1025) was built over another ditch, and<br />

upper fill layers of this kiln contained grains of oat, wheat, barley and rye.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re was no evidence of domestic settlement uncovered in the interior of the enclosure.<br />
