  Description

  Excavation by Graham Hull (02E1436) 'as part of Bord Gáis Éireann's Pipeline to the West revealed a single shallow depression, roughly oval, measuring 1.38m (north-east/south-west) by 0.95m by 0.1m deep, was excavated. The sides sloped gently down to a roughly flat base. The shallow and uneven form of the depression suggested a natural hollow that had been filled with the remnants of a larger spread. The deposit found in the depression was typical fulacht fiadh material: burnt and fire-cracked stone with frequent charcoal fragments. This discrete deposit of fulacht material may have been one of the 'few shovel-fulls of burned material, well trodden into the ground, and difficult to identify' noted by Coffey (1984).'
