A small spread of burnt stones and charcoal-enriched soil was discovered during topsoil stripping in advance of the construction of the N25 Youghal Bypass and was partially excavated in 2001. The spread (1.4m N-S; 2m E-W) overlay a small pit (1.1m N-S; min. 0.35m E-W; D 0.4m) cut into the subsoil and filled with heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. The E end of the pit had been inadvertently damaged by machinery prior to excavation. A fulacht fia (CO067-074----) and a burnt pit (CO067-085----) lie c. 110m to the N and c. 120m to the NW, respectively. (Noonan 2003g, 56, AR28)
