The National Monuments Service's description
In a level rush-covered area, on the NE bank of the Slievenaneav stream. A layer of burnt material (L 5.5m; H 0.3m), which was exposed by drainage works, is visible on the vertical face of the stream bank. The burnt material is scattered on the surface (10.5m NE-SW; 4m NW-SE) of the opposite bank and in the bed of the stream. Another burnt spread (KE076-051002-) is c. 100m to the SE.
