1. General Information

1.1 IntroductionThe following report outlines the results of salvage excavations carried out under thedirection of Gretta Byrne in Glenulra townland, North Mayo in 1992 (Figure 1). Theexcavations concentrated on recovering finds and investigating an area disturbed byroad construction. The site is identified as the ‘Glenulra Scatter’ to avoid confusionwith the Glenulra Enclosure, excavated by Caulfield.

The salvage excavations took place over a five week period in July / August and 3weeks in October 1992 under the direction of Gretta Byrne (92E140) Funding wasprovided by the O.P.W., who is now the owner of the land, to undertake a rescueexcavation at that time. The excavation team were Marcus Redmond, AntonineHealy, Karen Mulcahy, PJ Mc Cann, Padraig Madden, Niamh Caulfield, Clare Scally,

Eoin Sullivan and Tony Cocoran. A stratigraphic report was presented at the time(Byrne 1992) but the original excavation funding did not provide for post-excavationanalysis, and as a consequence, it has been difficult to develop the archives for fullpublication. In 2009 grant support through INSTAR has enabled the Neolithic and Bronze Age Landscapes of North Mayo (NBNM ) project to work on these materialsand make considerable progress towards publication of the sites

1.2 NBNM: Background and MethodologyThe Neolithic and Bronze Age Landscapes of North Mayo project aims to bring to fullpublication critically important aspects of the Neolithic and Bronze Age archaeologyof North Mayo. The overarching aims of the project address four areas: NoelDunne’s survey work on the Pollatomish peninsula; Seamas Caulfield’ssurvey/excavation in Belderrig; survey and excavation by varied parties at ‘CéideFields’; and Gretta Byrne’s survey/excavation from Ballinglen to Rathlackan.Individually these are important sites and/or landscapes, taken as a whole they are of international significance in terms of understanding early agricultural communities innorth-west Europe. Furthermore, the buried landscapes of the Céide Fields are iconicfor Irish archaeology and a state candidate for World Heritage Site status.

The project builds on the success of the Céide Fields work in outreach, and remediesthe lack of full academic publication. Our model is for a three year project resulting in:

- an academic monograph detailing results of survey, excavation and further specialist work

- full excavation reports and archives deposited with the relevant authorities- a book targeted at the general public outlining the nature, significance andfuture of these archaeological landscapes

At present, funding has been obtained for the first year of this project which focuseson preparing stratigraphic accounts of all of the excavations, archiving materials,generating basic catalogues and processing relevant samples. The enclosed reportsoutline the results of this project.

The specific excavations included in this proposal are: Belderg Beg (Caulfield), Behy(Ó Nualláin), Glenulra Enclosure (Caulfield), Céide Visitor Centre (Byrne and Dunne),Glenulra ‘Scatter’ (Byrne), Rathlackan Court Tomb (Byrne). Project partners include

Seamas Caulfield, Gretta Byrne, Martin Downes, Noel Dunne and Graeme Warren(Project Coordinator). Grant support for 2009 enabled us to hire two research

assistants, Mr Stuart Rathbone and Mr David McIlreavy and a research fellow, Mr Patrick Walsh. These three researchers have been based in Belderrig from August-Nov 2009

The nature of the archives encountered by this phase of analysis varied. The earlier excavations took place in a different archaeological framework: single contextrecording was not carried out, and expectations of the scale and character of recording were very different to today. In general for the earlier excavations, thewritten archive is poor, but the recollections of the excavator, alongside a goodphotographic and drawn record, has enabled a good level of reconstruction of stratigraphy. The more recent excavations have a more complete archive, and herewe have focused on synthesising the annual reports previously presented.

Illustrations: This phase of the project did not attempt to create any final illustrationsfor publication, consequently, the images reproduced here are not those that wouldaccompany a final report. They include plates and a range of line drawings, some

fully inked up, some still in pencil. In as far as is possible these images have beenpresented to a high standard, but many require formal digitising and standardisationwhich it has not been possible to undertake at this stage. Likewise, for some sites, anoverall spatial plan has not been produced, and we rely on the original location mapsproduced by the excavators.

Artefacts/Samples: as part of the analysis all artefacts and samples werecatalogued by David McIlreavy. These catalogues are preliminary only, and in allinstances the material requires specialist analysis. For lithics a broad classificationwas utilised by DMI comprising tools (formal retouched objects), blades/flakes/coresand finally small production waste (debitage, informally defined): these terminologiesare not those used in standard lithic analysis. Ceramics, in particular, present some

challenges, as many pieces are highly degraded. All artefacts are formally labelledand boxed according to NMI standard. Samples have been catalogued and apreliminary assessment of their quality made.

2. Site Location & DescriptionMayo 1992:145 'Céide Fields', GlenulraG066389SMR 006:03202

LocationGlenulra is situated in the Barony of Tirawley in the Civil parish of Doonfeeny. Thissite is situated 2.5km southeast of the Céide Fields centre on the west facing slopesof the Glenulra Valley on a contour height of 110m. The modern landscape isdominated by bog, with some small pasture farming and some excavation of peat for domestic use. Further along the Glenulra river to the south there is a large expanseof modern planted woodland of spruce in Sralagagh townland.

The north Mayo coast from Belderrig to Killala Bay is highly varied, with complexgeological and geomorphological sequences. In the west extensively deformed pre-Cambrian metamorphics form the core of the landscape (Sleeman 1992), which ischaracterised by rounded hills, sharp cliffs and bleak bog-filled basins and wet podsol

soils. Approximately half way between Belderrig and the Céide Fields, these schistsgive way to a variety of Carboniferous limestones and sand/siltstones. Hill and




Page 4 of 43

plateaux peat is present in the uplands, with blanket peat extending down the hills,but in the lowlands the land is of higher quality; with brown earth soils in theBallyglass region and grey brown podzolic soils near Ballycastle. On the plateau eastof Ballycastle bog and podzols dominate again. The Glenulra scatter lies withinblanket bog dominated landscape, although the parent geology is Carboniferous.

Description of siteThis site was discovered when artefacts in flint, chert and quartz were noticed lyingon the surface of a roadway which had been exteneded to give access to the bog for turf cutting. Prior to the archaeological excavations the entire surface of the roadwaywas excavated by machine. The area opened was 19 m long narrowing from 10m to4m wide. The machine had excavated to the natural subsoil over most of the roadsurface, thus removing the archaeological strata. Much of the area was also churnedup by the tractor traffic and erosion (Figure 2).

Although a lot of the archaeological material was removed by the machine it is quite

probable there may still be a substantial amount of archaeological material under thepeat outside the extent of the excavation. Other pre-bog activity is in evidence 50mfurther north wards along the road way where substantial layers of charcoal andpossible cultivation ridges are visible in the exposed road side (Byrne 1992). Thescatter lies within the Céide field system, and is associated with with numerous courttombs (MA 006 – 021; MA 006-027; MA 006- 014) and other monuments.

The site archive and excavation methodologyThis excavation was a salvage excavation of a road surface that had already beenexcavated by mechanical digger in order to extend an access road to provide aspace for tractors and trailers to turn around for the removal of turf. The machine hadpenetrated into the soil layers beneath the peat and dumped the material on top of

the adjacent turf bank. The area that was examined revealed a number of pieces of chert, flint and quartz. The road surface was covered in churned up soil, the result of a lot of traffic by tractors and trailers. This area was excavated by hand but very littleundisturbed archaeological material remained (Figure 3). Very shallow spreads of charcoal rich soil were still present, and these were excavated by hand. Featurenumbers were administered and descriptions are in the archive and are presented inthis report. The extant archive is of a high standard and the basic interpretations herefollow those of the original reports.

3. Results

3.1. StratigraphyThe entire disturbed surface of the roadway was excavated, which involved a 19mlong area narrowing from 10m to 4m wide. Approximately three-quarters of themachine spoilheap was inspected to recover finds, the remainder consisted of theupper layers of peat and would not be expected to contain archaeological material..The excavations at The Glenulra scatter site consisted of a relatively simplestratigraphic sequence. A total of 14 contexts were identified within the area duringthe excavations carried out by Gretta Byrne in 1992. The numbers were listed in the1992 excavation as F (Feature numbers). There were a group of shallow spreadswhich had been given the number F 5 at the time of the excavations. F5 describes agroup of four spreads. The feature descriptions are taken from the director’s accountof the excavations. Measurements were taken from the site drawings where thefeatures were recorded. In many instances these spreads run under the peat and




Page 5 of 43

their full dimensions are not discernable. In some cases not all the exposed featureswere excavated, these remain in situ and backfilled. These are listed in AppendixOne and more detailed descriptions are given in the following section. A finalcomposite plan of the features has not yet been produced.

Context DescriptionsContext F1: Peat Layer This context refers to the layer(s) of peat concealing the site prior to the excavation. It was not formally recorded.Originally the peat overlying the scatter site was c. 2 metres deep, but had been lowered by localised peat cutting.The uncut peat was over 2m deep on the east side and cutover to 0.5 -1m high on the south and west side.

Context F2: Brown siltThis was a fine dark brown silty soil around a collection of stones situated against the east baulk; it was up to 0.2mthick, and was undisturbed at the edges of the road at the southern terminal and extends underneath the peatThere was a high concentration of stones up to 0.5m in size, and a number of finds including convex and concavescrapers in chert and flakes of chert and quartz.

Context F3: charcoal rich soilPebbly grey charcoal soil under the East Baulk at the North End of the site.

Context F4: Charcoal SpreadThis is a charcoal spread in the centre of the site. It contains a medium brown charcoal soil with occasional smallcharcoal flecks, the charcoal being very fragmentary and brittle. F4 was very shallow throughout mostly less than0.01mbut it had occasional pockets up to 0.02 – 0.03m in depth. A number of artefacts were recovered from thelayer including several chert flakes and some chert debitage, some quartz was also recovered (although specialistanalysis is needed to determine working), and two pieces of flint. A small amount of charcoal was selected fromthis deposit as sample No. 4.

Context F5: SpreadsThis context appears on the plan as four separate small spread patches. The spreads are all the same context

type and are grouped together as F5. The soil consisted of a light grey material with frequent charcoal inclusionsand this probably extends under the uncut bog to the west of a stony area.

Spread 1 0.6m n/s 0.7m e/w 1.5m from the west baulk.Spread 2 0.3m n/s 0.4m e/w 1m from the west baulk.Spread 3 1m n/s 0.2m e/w 2 m from the west baulk.Spread 4 0.5m n/s .5m e/w 3 m from the west baulk.

Context F6: Charcoal rich soilThis layer was located between the drain and west baulk on the south side of the site. It was a undisturbed brownlayer with some charcoal flecks and extends for a short distance out from the baulk with remainder assumedlyremoved by machine. A light grey brown fine silty soil up to 0.2m deep with frequent small charcoal flecks. Thislayer had a number of stones loose within and on top of it.

Context F7: Charcoal rich soilF7 is very similar to F6, with a slightly browner colour, and may be the same layer, found in the SW extensionunder the peat.

Context F8: Stakehole A single stakehole was located close to the southwest edge of the road. It is 0.1m in diameter and 0.18m in depthnarrowing towards the base. The south side is quite vertical but the north edge slopes southwards to the base.The stake hole is cut into the natural yellow brown stony subsoil F14. The fill was silty grey and charcoal flecked. Itwas overlain by F6 which was 0.12m deep at that point.

Context F9: brown depositThis is a brown soil with occasional charcoal flecks, found underneath F7 in the eastern half of the SW extension

Context F10: possible pit




Page 6 of 43

This is a grey deposit filling a small shallow irregular feature, possibly a pit, at the eastern end of the south westextension. At the north end of the feature it was a very dark grey silty charcoal soil but it was only 0.01 – 0.02m indepth. At the southern end it was a lighter grey and about 0.1m in depth. It underlies F9.

Context F11: charcoal rich soilThis is a sporadic charcoal soil layer which appears in patches throughout the eastern part of the site, under F2.

This layer had no measurable depth and trowels away down to the natural.

Context F12: light grey siltThis is a patch of light grey silty soil with occasional pieces of charcoal located in the south west corner of the SWxtension of the site beneath a large stone which was in F7 The layer was not fully excavated.

Context F13: light grey siltThis is a layer similar to F12 a patch of light grey silty soil with occasional pieces of charcoal in the northern end of the south west extension of the site. It is located under F9

Context F14: ‘Natural’Stony brown hard compact clay, in places more yellow brown.

3.2 FindsThe majority of the finds recovered from the scatter site comprised flint, chert and quartz and rock crystal. Of the1146 finds recorded from the scatter site, some 727 were chert (63.4% of the total assemblage), 295 werequartz/rock crystal (25.7% of the total assemblage), and 112 were flint (9.8% of the total assemblage).

The chert assemblage comprised 727 artefacts, consisting mainly of unmodified flakes (397 pieces; 54.6% of thechert assemblage). Some 9 probable cores were recovered and 153 pieces of chert debitage. Altogether non tooltypes accounted for 559 of the 727 chert artefacts (76.8% of the assemblage). Recognisable tool types (168pieces; 23.1% of chert artefacts) consisted of a number of blades, scrapers, some points and a leaf shapedarrowhead. Blades comprised the majority of the tool types recovered (65 examples). Within the chertassemblage 98 pieces were scrapers, which could be broken down into 44 concave scrapers, 28 convex scrapers,

25 end scrapers, and 1 side scraper. One broken leaf shaped arrowhead was recovered.

The quartz and rock crystal assemblage comprised some 304 pieces; some 26.5% of the total finds assemblage.Quartz pieces outnumbered rock crystal by 243:61, although in both cases the assemblage was dominated byunmodified flakes, with little debitage noted in each case (however, given that most of the material was recoveredfrom a disturbed context the amount of debitage recovered may have been detrimentally affected).

Flint was represented by 112 pieces (9.8% of the total assemblage). The assemblage comprised some 5 cores(including 1 piece exhibiting possible burning) and 66 flakes (3 of which were burnt). A small number of debitagepieces (24) were also recovered. Six blades were recovered from the flint assemblage. Four convex scrapersand four concave scraper were recovered, along with one point. One pressure flaked projectile head was alsorecovered.

One possible anvil stone with four indentations was also recovered.

No ceramics were recovered from the site.

3.3. Samples A total of 11 samples, of varied sizes, form part of the archive (See Appendix Five). These are in good conditionand may provide material suitable for dating. Only one (sample five) is a bulk sample that is likely to providebroader palaeoenvironmental evidence, the others are picked selections of charcoal for dating purposes.

3.4 DatingNo radiocarbon dates have been obtained for this site. The lithics, especially the concave scrapers, suggest aNeolithic, and probably middle Neolithic age.

4.Glenulra Scatter: discussion As noted above, the machine damage prior to the excavation had penetrated to thenatural subsoil over most of the road surface, thus removing the majority of thearchaeological strata. Furthermore, a large quantity of material was churned up bytractor traffic on the surface and by erosion. As was feared before excavation began,

the basic shallowness of the soil meant that what remained at the time of the rescueexcavation was the occasional intermittent, very shallow, spreads of grey charcoal-rich soil in situ overlying the subsoil with only one possible stake hole on the site F8;the various layers and spreads in both the eastern edge and the SW extended areaare also significant remains and in both sides extend under the baulk. The director believes that it is likely that a habitation site existed at this location, the evidence for which has largely been either removed by the digger or still remains under theunexcavated peat.

The finds from the site may be the only resource available to generate discussion onthe possible type of site that was here at Glenulra, and this scatter of lithics isparticularly interesting because the overall character of the Neolithic landscape hereat Céide is defined by the construction of the Neolithic walls and the megalithic tombsand the character of the finds is very similar to those found at both Ballyglass sitesand also Rathlackan.

It is very difficult at this stage to try and interpret the site here at Glenulra in advanceof detailed finds analysis. Certainly, taken in isolation the site is not of greatimportance. Taken into the broader north Mayo landscape however it is verysignificant as it provides a further insight into the Neolithic patterns of the people inNorth Mayo.. At present only a tiny percentage of the pre bog landscape has beenexcavated which limits our ability to understand anything other than the very generallayout of the sites as identified through survey. By investigating the finds site here at

Glenulra the excavations advance our understanding of this complex landscape alittle further.
