The National Monuments Service's description

The first phase of monitoring of a residential development in 2006 revealed a mound (11.1m x 8m) of burnt stone, charcoal and burnt clay. A test-pit was excavated at the centre of the mound revealing traces of a probable trough (Giacometti 2006, 9–10; 2009, 339).
