The National Monuments Service's description
On a low-lying landscape in the valley of the upper Cross river, c. 150m SW of rath (RO048-007001-). Two oak timbers were recovered in ploughing. One (L 3.1m; Wth 0.18m; T 07m) has a mortice (dims 0.1m x 0.07m) at either end while the other (L 1.3m; Wth 0.17m; T 0.02m-0.07m) is featureless. They were found c. 50m S of the burnt mound (RO048-181001-), although the precise location is not known. They may have been from a water mill, and what may have been a small millstone was held locally but is now lost.
