Archaeological monitoring (03E0666) by K. Campbell of an area of about 25 hectares (c. 60 acres) in the N borrowing area of a mining development identified seven principal areas of archaeological potential that were set aside (excavations.ie 2003:1448) for further investigation. Site 2 is on the N-facing slope of a small rise and is described by Campbell (2004, 10) as a collection of four small features (dims 0.3-0.7m) on a slight rise. These four small pits were subsequently excavated (10E0075) by P. D. Sweetman (2010, 7) and while all contained some flecks of charcoal no artefacts or bones were recovered.
