Situated on a fairly level landscape. First identified in centre-line testing (05E0983) for a new line of the N4 (O’Connor et al. 2005, 37), and later fully resolved (E003305) as a part of Moher 5, which was only partly excavated as most of it lay outside the road-take. It consisted of a spread of broken and burnt stone (dims 4m x 3.7m, max. D 0.12m) overlying peat (dims 4m x 3.7m; T 0.13) which in turn overlay a spread of silty clay over the natural. A sample from the peat produced a C14 date of 3916 ± 82BP (2620-2140 cal. BC), on the cusp of the Late Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age. Burnt mound (LE035-013001-) is c 12m to the WNW.
