Discovered during the construction of a house in 2004 (Excavation Licence No. 04E1559). Field once referred to as 'Pairc na Reilige'. To the W of the house, three cremation burials, two in pits and one in an undecorated urn were uncovered. One of the cremation pits was within a miniature ring-ditch, 0.25m wide, with an overall diameter of 1.3m, which also contained cremated bone.
Found alongside an Early Christian burial ground (LH008-121----), a kiln (LH008-123----), two souterrains (LH008-124---- and LH008-125----), a furnace (LH008-126----) and a number of pits. (Campbell 2007, 268-9)
