The National Monuments Service's description
'This site was not indicated on available maps or on aerial photography and was noted while passing an area that had recently been stripped as part of the ground works relating to the construction of a new dwelling house. Remains of the spread on the ground surface were minimal though the remaining material suggested the spread was circular with a diameter of 4m. The mounded soil from this part of the site also contained charcoal rich soil and some fire shattered stone.'
