The National Monuments Service's description
During the test trenching in 1992, archaeological deposits were noted at the base of a cellar which comprised3 levels of houses and laneways and a 4th level of pits were investigated. All the levels appeared to date to the later 11th/early 12th century. Well preserved post and wattle buildings aligned at right angles to a laneway that ran in a south-west/north-east direction were uncovered. A small number of finds of all types were recovered including an exceptionally fine wooden handle decorated all over in Laing's 'Primitive Style'. (Hayden 1993, 20 ).
