Situated on a fairly level landscape. Archaeological monitoring (98E0352) of topsoil stripping over an area of about 38 hectares (c. 95 acres) by C. Ó Drisceoil identified six areas of potential archaeological importance consisting largely of pits filled with charcoal and burnt stones (excavations.ie 1998:526). In Area 6 a spread of broken and burnt stone was identified which it was possible to exclude from disturbance and it was not included in excavations (12E0311) later conducted by P. D. Sweetman (2012) (excavations. ie 2012:660).
