The National Monuments Service's description
Excavations at High Street in 1971 revealed habitation material of 12th, 11th and earlier centuries. This includes post and wattle structures (L 3.75m, Wth 3.35m) considered to be workshops of 11th century date. Wooden door jambs and thresholds were present. These were enclosed by post and wattle boundary fences. The artifacts include bronze pins, bone combs and textile fragments. Gaming pieces were being made on the site and imported amber worked (O'Riordain, 1971, 30).
