A shall oval pit (4m x 1.6m; D 0.28m) with a flat base aligned N-S was excavated in 2004 (Casey 2006, Licence no. 04E0052) in advance of the N18 Ennis bypass. It was situated in a sheltered area close to the bottom of a slope. Its charcoal-rich fill indicated that two fires had been lit in quick succession. Elm charcoal returned a radiocarbon date of AD 1010-1180 (Beta-211577). The size and contents of the pit suggest that it functioned as a charcoal-production pit (Casey 2007, 32, no. 137; Bermingham, Casey, Hull and Taylor 2012, 73-4)
