A geophysical Survey by Bartlett-Clark (2002) noted anomalies which targeted archaeological testing (04E0580) by N. Fairburn (2004) at Testing Area 7 could identify as what appeared to be a burnt mound (excavations.ie 2004:1190). It was fully resolved (E003106) by L. Clarke over one week in July – August 2006 as Boyerstown 2 (excavations.ie 2006:1517). It consisted of a subcircular layer (dims 7m x 6m; T 0.15m) of fire-cracked sandstone and charcoal-stained clay that was the topmost layer within a large triangular cut (dims 6.5m N-S; 6m E-W; max. D 1.5m) that was a cistern (ME025-091001-).
