The National Monuments Service's description

Archaeological monitoring (03E0666) by K. Campbell of an area of about 25 hectares (c. 60 acres) in the N borrowing area of a mining development identified seven principal areas of archaeological potential that were set aside for further investigation (excavations.ie 2003:1448). Site 4a is described by Campbell (2004, 12, 13) as a collection of eleven small features (dims 0.3-1.2m) in a limited area (dims 10m x 10m) that was located on the summit of a small ridge c. 30m N of Site 4b (ME018-066----). In a subsequent archaeological assessment (10E0075) P. D. Sweetman (2010, 11-13) discovered that much of the protective soil covering had already been removed and only four features (diam. c. 0.3m to 1m x 0.5m; D 0.25m) with some charcoal but no artefacts remained.
