What is recorded here
In 2000 archaeological excavation by Donald Murphy revealed evidence of a Fulacht Fiadh which covered an area approx. 15.65m N-S x 7m. A particularly dense area of charcoal was evident within the NW quadrant measuring 5.5m x 5m. This was removed revealing nine pits/depressions which varied in shape, length and width. The largest measured 5m x 1.5m and the smallest had diameter of 0.9m. The depth varied ranging from 0.25m to 0.6m (Bennett 2002, 318). Excavation was carried out under licence No. 00E0211 (Bennett 2002, 318).
