Discovered in 2003 during test trenching in advance of the construction of the Ennis Bypass and Western Relief Road at the edge of and close to the surface of a peat bog and excavated in 2004. Excavation revealed seven discrete prehistoric burnt mounds (CL033-162001- to CL033-162007-). This record is for Area iv which was the smallest of the burnt spreads (3m x 2m; T 0.1m). It was truncated during testing but was unlikely to have been much larger. A radiocarbon determination of 2450-2190 Cal BC was obtained. (Taylor 2006; Bermingham, Hull and Taylor 2012)
