The earliest evidence for occupation at Kiltrough was represented by a Bronze Age burnt mound and Iron Age metal-working. Two enclosures and a kiln were constructed during the transition between the Iron Age and early medieval periods (i.e. from the prehistoric to the historic period). Early medieval activity at the site was sub-divided into four phases which were highlighted by three small structures, a ringfort and a semi-circular enclosure, four cereal drying kilns, a water management system and probable animal enclosures or field boundaries. The final phase of early medieval activity was reflected by the construction of a Souterrain. A number of significant artefacts were retrieved during excavation including early medieval an antler comb, souterrain ware pottery and enamel beads.
