The National Monuments Service's description
This is the record for the fulacht fia partially excavated by Goorik Dehaene (E3238) on the N11 route. The features excavated were a possible trough cut into the clay subsoil, and a burnt spread. Two radiocarbon dates from the trough fill place this feature in the mid/late Bronze Age. (Dehaene 2009l)
