The National Monuments Service's description
Excavations in advance of the N2 Finglas-Ashbourne Road Scheme revealed an industrial site. Located on top of a hillock. This comprised an enclosed area defined by a sequence of postholes in the S and E and a steep-sided slot trench to the W. In the N there were two enigmatic barbell-shaped features consisting of two circular postholes connected by a thin channel that produced probable Souterrain ware. Subsequently, a kiln was inserted into the W part of the site (NRA).
