The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological excavation (Licence No. 01E1072) revealed pits, post holes and areas of burning. Prehistoric flint and pottery were found in large quantities which the excavator suggested was indicative of intensive occupation and use for industrial/ manufacturing. All exposed features were fully excavated ahead of development (Bennett 2004, 537).
