Abstract
This site at Derver 1 was excavated by Archaeological Consultancy Services Ltd (ACS) as part of the M3 Clonee–North of Kells Motorway Scheme on behalf of Meath County Council NRDO and the NRA. The excavation was carried from 8–17 January 2007 under Ministerial Direction Number A030/025 issued by DOEHLG in consultation with the NMI. The excavation registration number was E3187. Derver 1 consisted of a medium-sized pit, possibly a hearth, and four smaller pits, one of which contained a partial lamb skeleton and may have been of recent date. 33 sherds of Middle or Late Bronze Age pottery were recovered from a shallow hollow situated to the northwest of two of the pits. The sherds may have been ploughed out from one of the pits or another feature now removed.
