This multi-period site in Ardnadam Glen had been occupied by man intermittently through five millennia. It is not possible to estimate the length of each of the eight periods described owing to the scarcity of datable finds although the Early Neolithic and the Iron Age occupations are fixed approximately by radio carbon-dating. The Early Neolithic is represented by pottery, flint tools, hearths, post holes and banks of stone; the later Neolithic, by the remains of a round house and pottery. An Iron Age occupation is suggested by the remains of two round houses, followed by an early Christian settlement with enclosure, a possible house, a possible 'cell', graves, cross-marked stones and a chapel. The Medieval period is represented by remains of another house, datable pottery, paving, evidence of iron-working and charcoal- burning.
