Discovered during archaeological monitoring (Excavation License No. 03E0481). A linear feature and two pits all filled with black soil and heat cracked stones were uncovered. The excavator suggests that the pits may have functioned as the troughs of a fulacht fia and due to agricultural activity the burnt mound of this had been reduced to thin spreads of burnt material which filled sub-soil features. (Halpin E. 2006, 397)
