The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the headwaters of a slight E-W stream. This is a circular area of broken and burnt stone (diam. 8.5m; max. T 0.25m) which was identified in 2007 during the testing for a water scheme. It was sampled (07E0720) but produced no artefacts or other features and will be preserved beneath a roadway. Burnt mound (RO053-008001-) is c. 10m to the E. (Moore 2008, 33-5; Quinn 2010)
