The National Monuments Service's description
This is the record for the excavation by Goorik Dehaene (E3239) which uncovered various features, including 'a stakehole and postholes and a pit ... associated with early Neolithic pottery and late Neolithic flint and quartz ... it is thought that they form the remnants of hut or shelter' (Dehaene 2009m).
