The National Monuments Service's description
This is the record for Area B in Red Tobin's excavation (E3259) on the N11 road improvement scheme. This consisted of four pits/post-holes. Each pit/post-hole was c. 0.3m diameter and contained charcoal-rich fills. Three further pits were in close proximity forming a line of pits/post-holes orientated roughly 3.5m north–south; they were located c. 14m to the east of this cluster of features. The site was interpreted as being structural in nature, possibly representing a prehistoric structure Bronze Age in date. (Tobin 2009g)
