Abstract
This paper examines a peat deposit found beneath Kilkenny city, located on the edge of the flood plain of the River Bregagh. Radiocarbon dates and a preliminary pollen analysis of the peat indicate that this deposit was formed approximately 9000 years ago, in an environment of open grassland. The paper ends with a brief summary of the landscape evolution of this part of Kilkenny city from the end of the last glaciation.
