What is recorded here

A large quantity of flint debitage with a low density of retouched pieces, found during a survey of seven fields in the Barnageera area in 1990. Preliminary analysis of the lithic material collected indicates a human presence from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age period (Guinan 1992, 4-8). As part of pre-development investigations a fieldwalking study was undertaken in this field which contains cairn DU005-017001- towards its eastern limit. There was a relatively low lithic count from this field with undiagnostic flint being recovered (Doyle, S. 2003, 9).
