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 that was roughly horseshoe shaped, with a narrwo arm extending from its south-souht-east end. The main part of the site measured 8.5m by 3m. Three smaller, outlying spreads lay around the main spread, tot he north-west and south-east. 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 removal in the field. This spread was left in situ and re-covered with topsoil.
