The National Monuments Service's description
Pre-development testing in 2003 revealed a ring ditch (diam. 8.5m; ditch Wth 0.3m-0.5m) on a terrace above a raised bog. Bronze age pottery, large amounts of burnt grain and burnt animal bone was found at the site. Remains of post-holes inside the ring ditch suggested the remnants of a circular house.This was found associated with some d-shaped curving ditches and a burnt mound (CV020-088----; Gilmore, S. 2006,19).
