What is A Road to the Past: Excavations Along the A1 at Loughbrickland about?

Principal Editor: Kev Beachus. Editors: Stephen Gilmore and Lianne Heaney. Illustrators: Steve Cannon and Stephanie Godden. This book describes the results of one years monitored topsoil stripping and excavation in advance of a 10-kilometer development of the A1 from Loughbrickland to Beech Hill. A number of areas of archaeological remains were identified, two particularly comple and large sites, the first of which comprised three Neolithic rectangular houses and a Bronze Age cemetery in the townland of Ballintaggart. The cemetery contained nine cremation burials, eight marked by ring ditches and two four-post burials. This site also included an Early Bronze Age occupation area. The second site in the townland of Derrycraw comprised a destroyed cairn, five ring ditches (three of which contained burials), a cremation in a woven structure, several other token burials and a single post-marked burial, which was associated with a Bronze Age funerary vessel containing a cremation. A number of smaller unassociated excavations were completed, including an iron Age cremation in Maddydrumbrist townland and several burnt mounds.
