The National Monuments Service's description
This monument was excavated (Licence no. 04E0185) in advance of development. Characterised by a series of pits from which medieval pottery was recovered, the site was truncated by post-medieval activity including a curvilinear ditch from which a sherd of 17th century Frechen ware was recovered (Lohan 2002, 19).
