Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 00E0794). Excavation of an area 50m x 40m area led to the discovery of two Neolithic Structures (LH021-072---- and LH021-078----), a cobbled surface (situated between the two structures) and approximately 40 pits (LH021-079----). This structure was smaller in size (6m x 5.1m) and better preserved than the other (LH021-072----) which was located 9m to the S. Its outline was marked by a foundation trench which varied in depth from 0.14m to 0.04m and contained remnants of burnt planks. Three postholes, two pits and a possible hearth were identified in the interior along with a number of sherds of Neolithic pottery. (Ó Drisceoil 2002, 214-5)
