On generally level ground, in low‐lying and poorly drained, rough pasture, bounded by the old N7 to W and a housing estate to S. Identified by Aegis in 2006 during test trenching (Ministerial Direction Number A026, NRA Reg. E2329) prior to the construction of the Southern Limerick Ring-Road and excavated in the same year by Áine Richardson as part of Rich Hill 1 (Richardson 2009, 4).
Fulacht fia excavated in Area C measured 8m north–south by 9m. It had two possible troughs below the mound, the larger measuring 2.19m east–west by 1.81m and 0.32m in depth, the smaller measuring 1.6m in diameter and 0.51m in depth. These were unlined and filled with heat-shattered stone and charcoal-rich deposits.
