The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on low-lying ground c. 200m W of the NW-SE Garraun stream, and c. 650m NW of where the stream enters the Tramore Back Strand. Archaeological monitoring (00E0903) recorded three pits, one (dims. 2.6m x 1.7m; D 0.56m) with a double bottom, suggesting it may have been a kiln, the others (diam. 0.5m; D 0.11m) smaller and shallower. The pits contained silty clays with charcoal flecks, and flint debitage was recovered in the ploughsoil. (Tierney, J. 2002c)
