Excavated by Brian Halpin (02E0741; BGE 3/51/2) when 'pproximately 30m north-west of the above site (LI020-163001-) was BGE 3/51/2. Six shallow pits/depressions cut into the yellow/grey clay subsoil were excavated. These features were very irregular in shape, with no discernible cut. All contained heat-shattered stone and charcoal-rich material, indicating fulacht fiadh activity. All were fairly shallow, and the largest had a maximum length of 3.8m north-south. It is probable that they were contemporary with the adjacent fulacht fiadh activity. None shows any evidence of function, and they may be undulations in the natural, filled in with burnt material. The site is in very wet, boggy land.' This description is posted on the web at the following internet address (accessed 3 August 2012): http://www.excavations.ie/
