The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered during soil stripping in advance of a large commercial development and subsequently archaeologically excavated (Gracie 1995 Excavation Licence No. 95E0264). A small rectangular spread of loose black silt and firmer black, clayey silt (3m E-W; 2.5m N-S) contained burnt stones and occasional charcoal fragments. To the S, a second larger spread of black material occurred (12m N-S; 10m E-W), and overlay a small pit at W which contained deposits of burnt stone. Three similar pits were found in the vicinity.
