The National Monuments Service's description
Excavated (Licence no. 01E1074) in advance of the construction of the M1, this monument was one of two Neolithic post-built structures (see also DU012-079002-). This structure (9m x 5-6m) was represented by postholes (max. 0.30m diam.) and enclosed a hearth in the SW corner of the interior. Sherds of Western Neolithic pottery were recovered adjacent to the structure. A possible platform/storage structure, fence lines and four pits were revealed to the N (Reilly F. 2013, 8).
