Settlement Sites
Derinch Island sits in the lough landscape of County Sligo, and somewhere on it is a feature recorded simply as a pit, which is a designation that raises more questions than it answers.
Archaeological pits can be almost anything: refuse deposits, storage features, ritual deposits, or the collapsed remnants of something else entirely. The bare classification, stripped of further detail, gives the site an oddly anonymous quality for something that was considered significant enough to record formally as a monument.
