Souterrains and road schemes - BAJR Host - 29th August 2008 Was told about this question lost in the mass of weirdness that is Britarch nowadays.. WEll if anybody knows the answer.. post up here.. :face-thinks: Quote:quote:Has anyone ever encountered a souterrain / fogou / underground chamber (name it what you will!) during evaluation or mitigation works during road schemes (new or widening) in the UK or Ireland? I am looking for some examples as a comparator for a report I am preparing. "I don't have an archaeological imagination.." Borekickers Souterrains and road schemes - Oxbeast - 29th August 2008 There was one found on the M3 scheme in Ireland, wasn't there? I have encountered an unexpected souterrain, though it wasn't on a road scheme. It was right next to a main road, though, if that helps. Souterrains and road schemes - BAJR Host - 29th August 2008 Thats a start... the M3 was tara I think... do you have a ref for the one you got? "I don't have an archaeological imagination.." Borekickers Souterrains and road schemes - Oxbeast - 29th August 2008 No, sorry, I've got no reference. I'm happy to direct the person who asked the question to the relevant HER, though. There is a very brief mention on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogou Souterrains and road schemes - Fishslice - 29th August 2008 For the M3 see http://www.m3motorway.ie/Archaeology/Section2/Roestown2/#Excavation or http://www.nra.ie/Archaeology/ for publications and brochures http://www.excavations.ie for info on sites up to 2004 and Summary accounts of archaeological excavations in Ireland after this. The bibliography of the The Souterrains of Ireland by Mark Clinton? Souterrains and road schemes - lucy78green - 29th August 2008 anywhere in county Louth is bound to turn up lots, can think of one off the top of my head Lucy Souterrains and road schemes - BAJR Host - 29th August 2008 brilliant every one...

Borekickers Souterrains and road schemes - andy.bicket - 29th August 2008 Hmmm...soutterains and the North East of Scotland rings a bell. I'm sure a few have come to light, excavated by the Scottish Units {AUP ![]() Perhaps also the M1 widening to Ballygawly (Northern Ireland), that also turned up some very nice Iron Age negative features but I was only privvy to the evaluation ![]() Souterrains and road schemes - tom wilson - 30th August 2008 Now don't be coy Oxbeast. Hosty, does it have to have been on a road scheme? freeburmarangers.org Souterrains and road schemes - Sparky - 30th August 2008 Why does it have to be on a road scheme? |
