The National Monuments Service's description
Excavated in advance of construction of the N9/N10 Kilcullen-Waterford Road (Excavation Licence number E3736). Two pits filled with burnt mound material were uncovered. The excavator suggested that these may have been the remains of a ploughed-out fulacht fia. (Phelan S. 2009, 6-7)
