The National Monuments Service's description
Test excavations in 2005 by Cia McConway and Niall Gregory under Licence No. 05E1251 revealed the remains of a possible fulacht fiadh (LI006-094001-), possible kiln corn-drying (LI006-094002-) and other miscellaneous features (LI006-094003-), all of which were located inside an enclosure (LI006-063----) (www.excavations.ie 2005:952; McConway 2008, 237). Examination of the excavation report found that this potential site was actually a feature recorded within the enclosure (LI006-063----). Feature 2 is sub-rectangular in plan (Dims. L 2.02m, W 1.13m) consisting of charcoal rich brown to black clay (McConway and Gregory 2006, 5). This entry has therefore been reclassified as a redundant record as it is only a feature from the interior of an excavated enclosure.
