The site was subject to geophysical survey (12R0111) and excavation (Licence no. 13E134Ext.) in advance of the construction GAA pitches. This monument consisted of three pits filled with burnt mound types deposits. Pit 1 was oval in plan (1.7, x 1.1m ). Pit 2 was circular in plan (1.8m diam.) and Pit 3 oval (1.1m x 0.8m) was associated with a possible trough (2.1m x 1.7m). A sample of hazel from the fill of the trough returned a calibrated date of 1917-1747 BC, dating it to the Early Bronze Age (Coughlan 2013, 4).
