Readers of this blog will know that the Beaubec Excavations team were recently awarded a Radio Carbon date from the RIA/QUB (see 4 December 2020). The result is just in, the envelope please: the pit circle dates to 2456–2208BC! We can now confirm that there is a Late Neolithic horizon at Beaubec uniting this part of the Boyne Valley with those monuments found in the summer of discoveries in 2018 and similar Neolithic circles found in Laytown/Bettystown during the Celtic Tiger years.
This exciting news has just arrived and we thank everyone in the 14CHRONO Centre for their hard work during these difficult times.
