The National Monuments Service's description
A large quantity of flint debitage with a low density of retouched pieces, found during a survey of seven fields in the Barnageeragh area in 1990. Preliminary analysis of the lithic material collected indicates a human presence from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age period (Guinan 1992, 4-8). Completely overgrown with scrub and brambles.
