Excavated in 1953 by O'Kelly (1954, 134-5); distinguishable prior to excavation by slight crescent-shaped mound (L 5m; H 0.25m) with opening to S. Excavation revealed an oval, unlined pit (L 1.85m; Wth 1.15m; D 0.2m) filled with the burnt material from the last cooking. According to the excavator 'a very temporary site, used perhaps five or six times in all'.
