In 2004, in advance of the construction of a large housing estate, archaeological test trenching (Duffy C. Excavation Licence No. 04E0644) followed by monitoring of topsoil-stripping over the entire site resulted in the discovery and excavation of two bowl furnaces (KD011-061----) and, c. 100m to the WNW, a small burial ground (KD010-040----). Two adjacent bowl furnaces, with diameters of 0.66m and 0.9m and depths of 0.37m and 0.45m respectively, contained metal slag and charcoal. Nearby was a hearth, comprising a charcoal-rich deposit, 0.7m by 0.52m and 0.05m thick, over oxidised subsoil.
