The National Monuments Service's description
Excavated by Sarah McCutcheon (02E1214) during monitoring of the Croagh Sewerage Scheme. This is the record for 'The final area was c. 510m from the treatment plant and lay beyond the dip in the bedrock; consequently the remains overlay boulder clay rather than peat. It initially comprised four discrete areas of carbonised silt. Two small patches of carbonised silt (1.8m (east-west) by 1.2m by 10mm deep, and 0.69m (east-west) by 0.53m by 10mm deep) occurred at the southern limit of the wayleave. A small pit and four stake-holes were revealed beneath the larger patch. To the west of these was a large subrectangular pit, 2.7m by 1.6m by 0.58m deep. Another large subrectangular area of carbonised silt, 4.2m north-south by 2m by 0.2m deep, occurred to the north of the pit or trough.'
