The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope. This was identified by R. Tobin in monitoring work (08E0627 ext.) associated with the development of a Community Centre outside the W edge of Taghmon. An area (dims. c. 20m x c. 20m) contains extensive archaeological deposits suggesting habitation, including post-holes, a possible ditch and a possible kiln. The excavated kiln (WX041-067001-) is c. 40m to the NW, (Tobin 2009).
