Situated on flat bogland. Excavation revealed a wooden trackway (L 13m; Wth 1m-4m) which partially overlies a fulacht fia (TN036-050067). The trackway consisted of longitudinally laid brushwood which in places rested on a foundation of brushwoods and roundwoods. A date of 1547 BC +/- 9yrs was obtained from a collapsed oak lying directly on top of the trackway. (Ó Néill 1999, Killoran 241, 81-2)
