What is recorded here
Located in a low cliff-face on the NW-facing foreshore on the E side of Tramore Bay. This is a black layer with a lot of closely packed stones (L c. 1m; T 0.1m), but with no evidence of charcoal. The cliff face is eroded just to the NE, and it may have continued in that direction.
