- AiGw-124, Tara: This site includes two slightly overlapping palisaded villages, Tara West and Tara East, and dated to the 13th century by ceramic seriation (Warrick, 1991). According to Bursey (1997), the eastern village was badly damaged by cultivation with few remaining features or structural patterns, but it covered an area of about 0.4 ha surrounded by two rows of palisades. The western village was also poorly preserved, covering an area of 0.25 ha surrounded by up to four rows of palisades.
