The National Monuments Service's description

One of 86 charcoal production sites recorded by Healy in 1972 and referred to by him as platform '76' (Healy 1972, 146). A test excavation was carried out on this platform (L 5m; Wth 3.5m) and two others (WI023-029003- and WI023-029004-) in 2009 by UCD School of Archaeology as part of its training fieldwork programme (Warren and McDermott 2012, 228; Warren et al. 2013, 85-112). The small test pit at this monument produced traces of charcoal (Warren and McDermott 2012, 228).
