The National Monuments Service's description
In 2002 archaeological monitoring by Richard Crumlish of a development to the south of an earthwork (TN036-005) revealed a fulacht fiadh, two burnt spreads and two charcoal spreads. This monitoring was carried out under Licence No. 02E0945 (Bennett 2004, 476).
A burnt spread situated in a peaty area along a field boundary and measured 5.5m by 9.8m. One of two burnt spreads and a fulacht fiadh along with other areas of charcoal enriched soil that was uncovered during monitoring of top soil in the field. This spread was left in situ and re-covered with topsoil.
