While the large enclosure, rath and burial ground are preserved under introduced soil in a green area all the available external area was excavated (15E0125) under the direction of S. McGlade in 2018-19 (excavations.ie 2019:474). East of the large rath, in the triangular area available for excavation, two circular or penannular structures and one rectangular feature were recorded in a N-S line with a small enclosure just to the NE. The most northerly structure (2) was D-shaped (int. dims c. 4.5m E-W; c. 2.8m N-S), open to the S, and defined by a fairly flat-bottomed slot-trench (Wth c. 0.3m) or drip-gully with two fills at most. There are no postholes or internal features associated with it but it is c. 3m N of Structure 3 with which it might have been conjoined but the ground between them was truncated by a wide ditch. (McGlade 2020, vol. 1, 67-9)
