Located towards the bottom of a gentle S and SW-facing slope. Bokagh 3 was identified as a site during the centre-line testing (10E0298) for the N5 Ballaghaderreen bypass (Janes and Delaney 2010a, 9) but this mound became distinct only during the resolution stage when half of it was exposed and excavated (10E0378). It appeared as a D-shaped mound of broken and burnt stone (dims 4.2m WNW-ESE; 3.7m NNE-SSW; max. H 0.67m) cut by the limit of the road-take at N. No related features came to light. Fulacht fia (RO008-072002-) is c. 10m to the S and fulacht fia (RO008-072001-) is c. 10m to the SE. N. Further afield the fulacht fia (RO008-071----) is c. 100m to the W and the fulachta fia (RO008-073001-; RO008-073002-; RO008-073003-) are c. 80m to the ESE. (Kyle, J. and Delaney, S.
