Situated on flat bogland. Excavation revealed a wooden trackway (L 7m; Wth 3.5m) which partially overlies a fulacht fia (TN036-050067). The trackway consisted of a dumped mixture of heavy roundwood trunks set as transverses among brushwood and some cleft wood. A date of 979 BC +/- 9yrs was obtained from an oak used in the substructure of the track (Ó Néill 1999, Killoran 243, 82-3).
