What is recorded here
New monument discovered in 2003 during excavations of the M7 Heath-Mayfield motorway scheme by Jonathan Dempsey of Archaeological Consultancy Services Ltd under licence number 03E0623. This site was located in an area of deep fill and was protected and reburied and preserved in situ.
Described as Ballyshaneduff or the Derries A this site consists of a subcircular pit with two fills which measured 1.1m N-S by 0.8m by 0.25m deep. This feature was probably associated with the fulacht fiadh excavated by Thaddeus Breen (Bennett 2006, 282).
