The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered during archaeological monitoring of topsoil removal (Excavation Licence No. 98E0573). Excavation revealed a sub-rectangular trough (L 1.6m; Wth 0.85m; D 0.29m), filled with a burnt black clay which contained inclusions of heat shattered stones and a fragment of cremated bone. To the N of the trough was a layer of burnt clay and stones which sealed a small pit (Wth 0.28m; D 0.23m), and to the S of the trough were three small pits. (Lynch 2000, 147)
