Kilkenny<br />

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

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

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

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

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