The National Monuments Service's description
Excavated by Sarah McCutcheon (02E1213) when 'monitoring of the Croagh Sewerage Scheme was carried out. The first area was c. 191m west of the treatment plant. It consisted of a subrectangular pit (measuring 1.2m north-south and 0.38m deep) cut by a later, oval pit (1.8m by 1m by 0.4m deep). Both of the pits were filled with burnt-mound material. There was a highly oxidised depression in the boulder clay abutting the pits to the south. This was interpreted as an informal hearth beside a succession of troughs. No mound material survived beyond the area surrounding the pits.' This description is posted on the web at the following internet address (accessed 3 August 2012): http://www.excavations.ie/
