The National Monuments Service's description
In 1893, oak beams with mortices and other joinery features were discovered in a low, irregular mound on the edge of a bog. Archaeological excavations by Vigours (JKAS 1895, 399-402) uncovered ox and deer bone, some worked bone and antler implements, and half of one stone of rotary quern was found on a 'floor' beneath the beams.
