This site was identified during Phase II test excavation of the N8 Cashel to Mitchelstown road improvement scheme carried out by Margaret Gowen & Co. Ltd in May 2006. The site was subsequently excavated [A035/000, E2306] between 24 June and 4 July 2006. It consisted of a burnt mound, whose area measured 17.5m (north-south) by 12m, located on the northern bank of a stream. The burnt mound sealed a trough, which had traces of a stone lining, concentrated mainly along the edges. This site was located 150m downstream of Site 4602A2 (see No. 1244 below), a burnt mound, and 600m downslope from Site 47001A, a ring-ditch site (see No. 1282 below, E2341) (McQuade, Molloy & Moriarty 2009, 115-8).
