The National Monuments Service's description
Test excavation (Licence no. 08E0058) was undertaken in advance of a proposed development on lands immediately S of Church road which forms part of St Colmcille’s ecclesiastical enclosure (DU011-034002). It revealed two shell middens associated with a fragment of worked antler which were identified and interpreted as indicative of occupation in the early medieval period (Myles 2008, 11).
