Situated between the round tower (CL067-024005-) and St Senan's well (CL067-024007-). Discovered during an assessment in 2001 in advance of conservation works to facilitate visitors to the island. A low mound is evident (3.1m N-S; 2.9m E-W; max. H 0.2-0.3m). Rabbit burrowing revealed burnt and fire-cracked fragments of shattered sandstone in a rich organic silty clay. A couple of pieces of burnt clay and a piece of iron slag were also recovered. (Halpin 2002, 10; Dunne 2003, 23-4) This is a national monument in state care, no. 10.
