The National Monuments Service's description

Excavations in 1993 in advance of the gas interconnector pipeline revealed the truncated remains of field drainage ditches and gullies, substantial ditch features, a rectangular structure (Diam. 2.5m E-W, 3.5m N-S, possibly mud walled) and the remains of a Late Bronze Age food vessel . Finds also include some flint, green-glazed sherd of 13th-14th century pottery indicating a multi-period site.There was also a peculiar decorated mudstone which had a face image carved out on either side (Cassidy, B. 1994, 32-3).
