What is recorded here

Excavated by Brian Halpin (02E0750) when 'topsoil-stripping of Bord Gáis Éireann's Pipeline to the West uncovered a spread of burnt material associated with fulacht fiadh activity. This site, a thin spread of charcoal-rich material with heat-shattered stone, was partially exposed at the edge of the pipeline corridor and measured c. 10m in diameter. No trough or other features were encountered. A small stream lying c. 6m to the west of the site continually flooded the area, making excavation extremely difficult.'
