The National Monuments Service's description
On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. Roughly circular structure, partially excavated (Excavation number E00455) by Doody (2007, 18-19, Structure 7). An excavated slot trench with stake-holes appears to represent the NW arc of a structure, interpreted by the excavator as a house (ibid. 19). The N terminal of the trench was marked by a small post-hole, while the S terminal was marked by a larger post-hole which contained charcoal providing a radiocarbon date of 3030+/-70BP; 1407-1215 cal. BC (ibid.). House (TS087-007001) and house (TS087-007005-) located c. 5m to NNW and SE respectively.
