What is recorded here

In garden of modern house, located close to a stream. A concentration of burnt stones and charcoal fragments were noted when a pit was dug for tree-planting in the garden of a newly-constructed house. The landowner notified an archaeologist who examined the site and confirmed the archaeological significance of the remains. No above ground evidence of a mound was visible and the full extent of the burnt material could not be determined. The pit was backfilled and the location is now under lawn.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MA070-228
