Wicklow 2014: Stratigraphic Report(University College Dublin. School of Archaeology, 2014-11)
; ; This report outlines the results of a small archaeological excavation at the ‘Pattern Bank’ Glendalough, Co. Wicklow (Figure 1). The excavations were carried out from 18th – 9th August 2014 at the request of National Monuments Service as part of the UCD School of Archaeology undergraduate training excavations at Glendalough. The UCD excavations also included Trenches 11 & 12 to the west of the main Glendalough monastic complex, which will be reported in due course. This report focuses on the Pattern Bank excavations (Trench 10), which uncovered a probable revetment/stone feature towards the top of the slope. No firm dating evidence was recovered for this feature but it is likely to be pre‐nineteenth century in date.313
