This monument was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 08R029) and excavation (Licence no. 10E0121) in advance of the Portrane, Donabate and Lusk Waste Water Treatment scheme. Located on low-lying ground this monument consisted of an oval trough (1.6m x 1.23m, 0.4m deep) filled by charcoal rich silty clay with a high frequency of fire cracked stone. A sample of hazel charcoal returned an Early Bronze age date, 2272-2037 cal. BC. The burnt mound material associated with the fulacht fia survived as three thin spreads c. 3.3m N of the trough (McQuade 2011, 24). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 5 February 2015
