The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological testing and monitoring (04E0871) identified a gully (Wth 0.65-9m; max. D 0.35m) part of which (L 8.5m) was excavated. Just to the S there were about 8 pits (dims. 0.35m x 0.5m; D 0.15m to 0.85m x 0.8m; max. D 0.35m) that had been disturbed by plough furrows. Prehistoric lithics and medieval Leinster ware were recovered from most contexts suggesting that considerable plough damage had occurred. (McLoughlin 2007b, 460, No. 1790; 2008b, 5-9)
