The National Monuments Service's description
Geophysical survey (licence no. 05R0137) identified a series of anomalies thought to represent a series of conjoined enclosures with several large pit-type anomalies (Nicholls and Shiel 2005). Test excavation (licence no. 07E0057) confirmed the presence of a cluster of pits and possible structural features within an area 30m x60m under redeposited natural. Burnt and charcoal fills were predominant (Elliot 2007, 292).
