The National Monuments Service's description

Test-trenching Graham Hull (07E0179) 'in advance of a proposed housing development located a cremation burial cemetery (21 pits) and a circular hut site (2m diameter). These features are very probably prehistoric in date. Linear features were also found and these may relate to early field systems.' The above description is posted on the web at the following internet address: http://www.excavations.ie/ (accessed 27 August 2012).

This is the record for the hut site.
