The National Monuments Service's description
Monitoring of topsoil removal in 1998 revealed, a spread of burnt material containing black silt, burnt stone and charcoal fragments. A rectilinear pit 1.1m wide and 0.48m deep had been cut by a subcircular pit 2m long, 1.4m wide and 0.6m deep. Beside this were the remains of a hearth and two linear concentrations of stake-holes-94 in total. The linear arrangement of stake-holes ran on either side of the rectilinear pit, and a number were clearly angled to form a tent-like structure over the pit (Gracie 2000, 35, ).
