In 2003, this site on the route of the M7 Heath-Mayfield road scheme was archaeologically excavated (Licence No. 03E0571 www.excavations.ie Accessed 28 August 2012). A low mound (c. 10m N-S; c. 7m E-W; H 0.3m) covered a sub-rectangular trough (2m E-W; Wth at ends 0.6m; Wth at centre 1m; D 0.6m) containing an upper layer of burnt stone and charcoal-rich silt, similar to the mound material, and a lower layer of dense silt with a small amount of broken stone. Several groups of stake-holes (av. diam. 0.05m; D 0.06-0.18m) around the W end of the trough indicated the presence of a light structure in this area. Another group of similar stake-holes was found immediately E of the trough and to the E of these a second, subcircular trough was uncovered (diams. 2.8m; 1.8m; D 0.6m) containing a very different fill to that of the first trough, comprised principally of a blue/grey clay with some burnt stone.

A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner.
