In undulating pasture on a slight NE facing slope 60m S of a stream that marks the townland boundary with Cloghkeating. Not depicted on either the 1840 0S 6-inch map or the 1897 25-inch OS map. Identified as Site C by Celie O’Rahilly, archaeologist, Limerick Corporation, when it was described as following; ‘Consists of a large megalithic-type boulder in the field boundary. Could simply be the result of field–clearance but equally could be a boulder burial. There is a second one further east also in the field boundary. Need closer examination from the north side.’ Site inspected in 2001 and described as an upright rectangular-shaped limestone boulder (H 1.7m, W 1.35m) in a drystone boundary wall. There are no support stones or decoration. Possible glacial erratic incorporated into field boundary. Not visible today on Google Earth orthoimage taken 2020.

Identified during archaeological monitoring of topsoil stripping associated with the Bord Gáis Éireann, Barnakyle to Coonagh West gas pipeline. Excavated under licence no. 02E1697 by Ken Wiggins (Wiggins 2003), the results were summarised as following; ‘A spread of charcoal-rich clay and burnt stone material was identified, measuring 3.6m (north– south) by 1.9m with a maximum thickness of 0.1m. The spread occupied a slight depression in the surface of the subsoil. A substantial pit/trough was sealed beneath the burnt spread. There were two other pits and a field drain of later date on the site. The trough was 1.6m in diameter and 0.35m deep. The fill was a mixture of burnt stone and charcoal-rich clay. Two later pits, F1 and F3, were cut into the centre of the burnt spread. F1 was 0.83m long, 0.48m wide and 0.16m deep. F3 was 1m long, 0.68m wide and 0.38m deep. Both were filled with grey/brown, topsoil-type clay. A drain, up to 0.2m wide, was aligned north-east/south-west through the centre of the burnt spread. It was filled with grey sediment and stones. No artefacts were discovered on the site, which appears from the burnt stone material to form the remains of a heavily ploughed-out fulacht fiadh’ (www.excavations.ie; Wiggins 2004, 307-8).
