The National Monuments Service's description
Test-trenching was carried out as part of an assessment along a stretch of c. 40km of the proposed N8 road improvement scheme from Cullahill, Co. Laois, to Cashel, Co. Tipperary. A subcircular pit (L 0.7m; Wth 0.5m; D 0.1m) was uncovered and fully excavated. It was filled by dark-grey/brown sandy clay that contained frequent flecks of charcoal and occasional fragments of iron slag. The area around the pit was stripped back, but no other features were identified. (Moriarty 2008, 193).
