The National Monuments Service's description
Excavation (Licence no. 05E0644) undertaken at the site in advance of a residential development revealed an isolated circular pit (0.96m E-W x 0.65m N-S) that contained a rim of coarse Late Bronze Age pottery. Analysis of an environmental sample from the fill, identified cereal remains, 54% of which were barley (McCarthy 2008, 20).
