The National Monuments Service's description
An irregular deposit of stone, clay, sand and charcoal (L 4.8m; Wth 1.2m; D 0.06m min.). The material is intermixed, well compacted and very poorly sorted. A variety of stone types are present and these are angular, with occasional sub-angular examples, many of them are decayed and fragmentary. Larger ex situ stones are evident on the adjacent field surfaces but their relationship to the deposit is unclear.
