What is recorded here

Situated on the N-facing slope of a glacial ridge overlooking Derryville bog to the N with fulachtaí fia (TN036-050020, TN036-050023) 10m to the N and 60m to the E respectively. The site was revealed during topsoil stripping and consisted of a partially ploughed-out semicircular spread (dims. 30m E-W x 23m N-S; D 0.8m) of burnt sandstone, silt and charcoal cut by a modern drain which may have destroyed a trough if one was present.
