The National Monuments Service's description

Fulucht fiadh material was found while carrying out test excavation on the north side of a large, north facing field of pasture, under licence 17E0049. Close to a field boundary and drain, this area was low lying, wet and boggy. The material extended for c3m within one trench only indicating it is relatively small in extent and could have been partially damaged by a recent land drain running through the area.
