The National Monuments Service's description

The investigations in 1988 for Phase 2, north-eastern Gas Pipeline uncovered a surface scatter of burnt mound material comprising charcoal-blackened soil and peat-cracked stone (6m E-W; 5m N-S). The remains formed part of a penannular feature with an opening towards the E. A variety of stone types were noted (Gowen 1989, 5).
