Excavated (Licence no. E3918) in advance of the construction of the Tyrrelstown to N2 Link Road, this monument consisted of an annular ring ditch (4.2m int. diam.). The interior contained a deposit of charcoal and cremated bone (0.3m diam.) placed slightly off-centre within the enclosing ditch. Charcoal from this deposit was identified as hazel while charred barley grains could indicate food offerings placed on the pyre. It was radiocarbon dated to the Middle Bronze Age, 1370-1110BC (O’Hara R. 2008, 3).
