The National Monuments Service's description
Eleven pits and post-holes were exposed here as part of the construction work associated with the Greystones Southern Access Route (Excavation Licence 04E0128 ext; Site 21). The excavator suggests that these features possibly related to fulacht fia activity. (Wiggins 2008, 418-9).
