The National Monuments Service's description
Excavated in advance of road construction (Licence no. 08E0106) the remains consisted of a ditch (0.7m width) that extended for 32m NE-SW. A pit was associated with the ditch. Both contained charcoal rich fills with heat-cracked stones and were interpreted as Bronze Age in date (Clarke and Linnane 2008, 5)
