Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 03E1254). Situated in a low lying area, in a S-curving loop of a small meandering stream at a point where it changes from a general N-S course to a general E-W course. The burnt mound (MO031-139---) and fulacht fia (MO031-127----) are further E on the same stream. A spread of burnt stone material (dims 8m x 5m; max. D 0.4m) was initially uncovered. Excavation of this revealed two hearths, a posthole and two troughs. The smaller trough (1.4m N-S x 1.23m E-W) had 14 waterlogged planks at its base and the larger trough (1.74m N-S x 1.55m E-W) had a large flat stone at its base. A plank from the trough produced a calibrated C14 date of 1377-896 BC (Walsh 2011, 517-8). (Walsh 2006, 406-7)
