The National Monuments Service's description
This is the record for Area A in Red Tobin's excavation (E3259) on the N11 road improvement scheme. This consisted of four or five pits/post-holes, a possible slot-trench and an irregular pit/spread. The slot was 0.2m deep and was filled with a charcoal-rich clay and burnt clay. These features may represent the remains of a structure measuring c. 4.5m north–south by 3m. (Tobin 2009g)
