The National Monuments Service's description
Uncovered during monitoring of top soil stripping prior to the development of the technology park (Excavation Licence No. 98E0440 ext.). Excavations revealed two spreads of ploughed out fulacht fia material and four pits, the largest of which may have functioned as a trough (L 3m; Wth 1.35m; D 0.4m). (McLoughlin 2000, 213)
