The National Monuments Service's description
A complex of ditches, pits and spreads were excavated here in 2000 prior to construction of the M1 Motorway (Excavation Licences No. 00E0282 and 00E0832). The exact function of these features is not certain. Flints, slag and burnt bone were recovered in association with the features. (Duffy 2002, 243)
