The National Monuments Service's description
Located in low-lying tillage. Excavations in 1994 during the construction of the BGE Interconnector Gas Pipeline uncovered a burnt stone spread (L 28m; Wth 21m; T 21m) with associated trough. Removal of its fill revealed a slot and a post-hole. Finds comprise animal bones and a quartz hammerstone (Campbell 1995, 36).
