The National Monuments Service's description
This is the record for the burnt spread excavated by Goorik Dehaene (E3245) on the N11 road improvement scheme. The burnt spread comprised two small, shallow burnt spreads in the west of the site. The pit comprised an irregular shallow cut with a single fill. The possible post-hole was in the centre of the site. An east–west-aligned field drain was located in the north of the site. (Dehaene 2009n)
