The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological excavation (Site 1) in 2003 in advance of a large-scale, commercial development revealed a mound (L 16m; Wth 11.5m; D 0.46m) of charcoal-rich clay and burnt/fire-cracked stone. A large pit was situated at the W edge of the mound and the trough was concealed beneath it. The trough (L 2.15m; Wth 1.59m; D 0.2m) was rectangular with a flat bottom and a stake-hole positioned in each corner (Ó Maoldúin and Keeley 2006, 320–21). Two other fulachtaí fia (LF014-125----; LF014-129----) lie c. 77m to the SE and c. 80m to the N respectively and a burnt mound (LF014-124----) lies c. 30m to the SE.
