The National Monuments Service's description

In 2001, pre-development, archaeological test-trenching (Licence no. 01E0264: www.excavations.ie) at the site of a proposed road-widening and junction improvement scheme at the N4-Cloncurry crossroads involved nine trenches being opened, three of which (nos. 2, 8 and 9) produced archaeological material. Trench 2 measured 10m north-east/south-west by 1.7m and contained the foundations of a stone building running east-west and then turning at right angles to run north-south. A parallel outer ditch or foundation trench was also noted. Ten sherds of medieval pottery were also recovered. Trench 8 measured 10m north-west/south-east by 1.6m and produced evidence of a substantial pit, or possible structure, containing twenty sherds of medieval pottery. A medieval hearth and possible medieval boundary were also identified. Trench 9 measured 10m north-south by 1.6m and also produced significant evidence for medieval activity in the form of ditches or boundary features, large burnt spreads, or burnt structures, and layered deposits.
