The National Monuments Service's description
Excavations in 2007 under licence no. 07E0558 by Ross MacLeod were summarised as following; 'Topsoil-stripping at the proposed new Limerick County Council housing development in Bruff, Co. Limerick, revealed two areas of archaeological interest. The first area was a series of intercutting pits, typically sub-oval in shape, averaging 0.8m long by 0.7m wide with a depth of 0.4m and a dark blackish-brown sandy silt fill. Located further to the north the second area contained a ring-barrow with an internal diameter of c. 10m and a 2.74m-wide, 0.59m-deep ditch. Two token cremation burials were located within the barrow' (www.excavations.ie).
