This site was located in the industrial peatlands of Cloncreen Bog. It was recorded in the 2013 Peatland Reassessment Survey as a structure, located in the NE extent of the bog, and described to be composed of possibly displaced E-W orientated timber, roundwood, and brushwood, as well as a single N-S orientated brushwood. It was found in moderately humified Sphagnum peat (Whitaker 2014).
The original find spot was relocated by GPS in 2014 (excavation licence: 14E0255), but no in situ remains were visible.
A fragment of ash was chosen for AMS dating and returned a result of cal. 1929-1750 BC (UB 26602).
