The National Monuments Service's description
Exposed during archaeologically monitored of topsoil-stripping in advance of residential development in 2003 (Excavation Licence 03E1821 (Site 1A)). A trough (L 1.9m NE-SW; Wth 1.65m; D 0.6m) contained six timbers at the base and had wattle lining on the E and S edges of the cut. Four shallow pits were located to the N of the trough. No trace of a burnt mound was found. Remains of a possible enclosure (WI013-071001-) were uncovered to the W. (Molloy 2006, 545)
