The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological testing by Brian Halpin (06E0811) revealed 'an enclosure is within the site boundary and a tower-house is adjacent to the development. A total of eighteen trenches of various lengths were enacted throughout the site from the topsoil down to the subsoil, one of which partially uncovered the remains of a small burnt mound; the other trenches proved to be negative.'
