In 2000 archaeological excavation by Donald Murphy revealed four fulacht fiadh , the largest fulacht consisted of a crescent-shaped spread of burnt material measuring 15m x 18m. A layer of peat indicating the presence of a trough (dims. 8.7m x 6.2m) was visible at the N end of the spread. Two phases of activity were identified. A spindle-whorl was retrieved from the fill of the trough, and numerous features were exposed beneath the fulacht, including a second trough and associated post-holes, an area of oxidisation and a pit (Bennett 2002, 324). Carried out under licence No's 00E0216/217/218 (Bennett 2002, 323-4).
