The National Monuments Service's description
Excavated (E3468) during 2005 by E. Devine as a part of Site 3 at Clogh, which was one of the excavations undertaken in advance of the construction of the N11 Arklow-Gorey link-road. Situated in a low-lying landscape W of a small N-S stream, but the original stream may have meandered E-W across the site. A spread of burnt mound material (dims. 13m x 5m; T 0.1m) was distubed by drain-digging but overlay a subrectangular trough (dims. 2.2m x 1.8m; D 0.1m) that may have had a plank lining. Fulacht fia (WX011-053----) is 17m to the NW, but separate sites might not have been involved. (Devine 2008)
