In pasture. Excavated in 1982-3 (Lehane 1988, 85-6, site 2) in advance of drainage works. Prior to excavation, site identified as irregular mound of burnt material. Removal of turf revealed irregular spread of burnt material (8.5m x 8.5m); only SE quadrant was excavated. Excavation revealed that trough consisted of rectangular pit (c. 1.5m x c. 2m) dug into subsoil at E end of mound; fragments of side timbers embedded in sides of pit; no floor timbers remained. A number of stake-holes excavated at NW end of trough were possibly remains of racks for hanging meat. Sample of side timbers was radiocarbon dated to 2705± 70 BP (UB 2626) (ibid., 87).
