The National Monuments Service's description
A field walking survey in 2000 on the site of the Battle of the Boyne (1690) revealed a number of notable flint concentrations. The material dated broadly to the Neolithic and Early Bronze age periods. This particular concentration of 'small clusters representing discrete episodic events' was located in a quite level and open field (Cooney et al. 2001, 43, Appendix 4, Fig. 11).
