Louth<br />

Balriggan was a large multi-phase settlement-cemetery, agricultural and industrial complex<br />

that probably originated during the late Iron Age and was utilised until potentially the tenth<br />

century based on the presence <strong>of</strong> souterrain ware. Burial and agricultural activities were<br />

probably the precursors for the expansion <strong>of</strong> the site into a larger settlement with associated<br />

fields and enclosures.<br />
