On a gentle SSW-facing slope, in pasture, on the N side of Schoolhouse Road, Castletroy. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified by Flor Hurley in 2003 during monitoring (License No. 03E1382) for a housing scheme known as Glantan and excavated (License No. 03E1717) by Niamh O’Callaghan later in 2003. In Area 1 (east), a number of features (F58-F74 and F81-F88) were recovered and excavated including a ring-ditch (int. diam. 4m; ext. diam. 5.6m; D 0.24m). There was no stratigraphic relationship between it and the cremation burials. There were two internal pits, although these did not contain cremation burials.
See attached plan extract from monitoring report (Hurley 2003).
