In 2019, archaeological monitoring at St Joseph’s Clonsilla, exposed the remains of a medieval field system and a very unusual feature: rows and rows of pits. Each pit was identical and arranged in rows 6m apart. The pit rows extended over an area measuring at least 80m x 50m.
The first pit field ever to be discovered in Dublin, various possible functions have been put forward as to its purpose. Join archaeologist Antoine Giacometti to learn more about Clonsilla’s Medieval Pit Field. All welcome and refreshments provided afterwards.
Event organised by Clonsilla & Porterstown Heritage Society and kindly supported by Fingal County Council.
