What is recorded here
Pre-development investigations in 2005 identified evidence dating from the Neolithic through to the early medieval period. The earliest activity at the site dates from the Neolithic. It comprises a Neolithic house, oriented roughly N-S (L 10m, Wth 6m). The footprint of the building was wholly defined by a slot trench, suggesting that the structure was plank built with evidence for a doorway on the W side. A substantial assemblage of early Neolithic pottery and struck flint were retrieved from the slot trench. This produced a radiocarbon date of 3394-3387 cal. BC (Bolger, T.2009, 25-26).
