The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a low cliff-face on the NW-facing foreshore on the E side of Tramore Bay. A pit (Wth 1.4m; D 0.4m) contains a layer of fire-reddened clay with slab-like stones overlying a layer of reddened clay with smaller pebbles. It is visbile at the junction of the galcial till with the overlying sands. This, or other sites in the cliff-face to the SW could have been sampled (E000346) by the Bally Lough Project, but no definitive results were obtained (Zvelebil et al. 1987, 35, No. 74)
