The National Monuments Service's description
One of three fulacht fia (see also WI025-099---- and WI025-100----) identified during archaeological monitoring (Excavation Licence 04E1334) in 2004 (O' Donovan 2007, 485) and subsequently excavated in 2005 (Excavation Licence 04E1717). Described by Mc Loughlin (2008, 418) as 'a roughly circular burnt-mound deposit measuring 13m by 15m by 0.3m. Two pits interpreted as troughs were sealed by the mound.' A radio carbon date obtained from one of the troughs places it in the Early Bronze Age (Mc Loughlin 2008, 418).
