The National Monuments Service's description
This is the record for the partial excavation of a burnt spread (E3205) by Goorik Dehaene on the N11 road improvement scheme. Associated with the burnt material were two pits, one of which yielded a radiocarbon date in the late Neolithic period. (Dehaene 2009o)
