In woodland area, on flat demesnes lands liable to flooding with E bank of the River Shannon 100m to W. On the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map the earthwork is depicted standing at W edge of woodland plantation belonging to the demesne lands of Mount Shannon House located 1.5km to SSE. A pond has been constructed immediately to the E of the earthwork as part of the landscaping of the demesne.The site description is based on its cartographic representation on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map and recent OSi aerial photography. Remains consist of an oval-shaped area (approx. int. diam. c. 23m N-S; 17m E-W) enclosed by a bank standing in a woodland plantation covered with large trees.

In lowlying grassland, on the floodplains of the River Shannon located 700m to the W. Not depicted on any OS map. Initially identified during archaeological monitoring by Avril Hayes (Licence 01E0169) of a 5km way-leave associated with the laying of the Clareville to Newcastle pipeline (Hayes 2001). This revealed a spread of burnt and fire-cracked stones covering an area measuring 12m north–south by 4m. Excavated under licence no. 02E1403 by Frank Coyne, the results were summarised as following; ‘Excavation of this material revealed a series of pits and natural hollows, all filled with similar fire-shattered stone and charcoal. One of these pits produced a sherd of Beaker pottery and a piece of worked timber, tentatively interpreted as a wooden scoop or shovel. This may have been used to move the burnt stones and appeared to have been broken and abandoned in antiquity. A shallow rectangular pit was also identified, c. 10m to the east of the burnt spread. It measured 1.4m east–west by 0.9m and was cut into sand to a depth of 0.1m. It was also filled with burnt stone and occasional charcoal flecks. Part of an animal tooth was recovered from the fill of the pit. Its association with the main spread of burnt stone is unclear.’ (www.excavations.ie 2001; 1146, Hayes 2001, 2002; 1125 Coyne, 2002).

In lowlying grassland, on the floodplains of the River Shannon located 630m to the W with a stream 35m to S. Not depicted on any OS map. Initially identified during archaeological monitoring by Avril Hayes (Licence 01E0169) associated with the laying of the Clareville to Newcastle pipeline (Hayes 2001). Excavated by Avril Hayes under licence no. 02E1348, the results were summarised as ‘a low mound of burnt stone in a charcoal-rich soil matrix. It lay in a low-lying marshy area close to a stream. The deposit was roughly circular, 10m in diameter, and 0.5m at its deepest. There was no obvious trough under the deposit, but a roughly circular cut lay under the south-west quadrant of the fulacht material. It was filled with burnt material. The burnt material overlay an undulating, grey, clay subsoil. No finds were recovered (www.excavations.ie 2001; 1146, Hayes 2004, 308).
