The National Monuments Service's description
This was one of a series of archaeological investigations carried out on the proposed route of the N9 Realignment at Moone-Timolin-Ballitore Hill. A series of low earthen banks or mounds was noted in the initial paper survey. Four cuttings were excavated (Licence No. 99E0203) investigating different parts of the feature. No structural remains were found: the 'banks' and 'mounds' were irregularities left by gravel-digging. Some scattered medieval pottery was found in the topsoil, along with a few metal objects of unknown date. (www.excavations.ie)
