In pasture, on the SW-facing slope of Knockanoughanish, to the S of the Kenmare-Lauragh road. A layer (L 6.5m; D 0.45m at centre) of burnt material is visible beneath blanket bog (D 0.65m) in the NW face of a V-shaped drain (on a NE-SW axis) and along its base. The depth of the layer decreases from the centre towards the NE and SW ends. A stream flows to the SW in the drain. According to local information, the burnt material was exposed during field drainage work.
