Excavated by Sarah McCutcheon (02E1213) when 'monitoring of the Croagh Sewerage Scheme was carried out. The first area was c. 191m west of the treatment plant. It consisted of a subrectangular pit (measuring 1.2m north-south and 0.38m deep) cut by a later, oval pit (1.8m by 1m by 0.4m deep). Both of the pits were filled with burnt-mound material. There was a highly oxidised depression in the boulder clay abutting the pits to the south. This was interpreted as an informal hearth beside a succession of troughs. No mound material survived beyond the area surrounding the pits.' This description is posted on the web at the following internet address (accessed 3 August 2012): http://www.excavations.ie/
