The National Monuments Service's description
This is the record for the excavation by Kate Taylor (04E1232) of thirty test-trenches 'in the vicinity of a medieval church and graveyard at Glebe, Monagea. A number of ditches and gullies were discovered, some of which were fairly substantial. It is likely that the features represent part of a medieval field system and possibly the line of the old road to the church. A small assemblage of animal bone was recovered, along with an iron billhook and a fragment of slag, indicating both domestic and small-scale industrial activity.'
