On a gentle W-facing slope in rough pasture, N of Tipperary Town, NW of the junction of the Rossana and Carrownreddy roads (Dehaene 2007, unpublished archaeological testing report, 4-5). The testing was undertaken in November and December 2007 on behalf of South Tipperary County Council, in advance of developing the site (Excavation Licence number 07E1044). Dehaene (ibid.) describes a burnt spread which, 'comprised a deposit of heat-shattered limestones and sandstones and charred material. These stones were well sorted, and mostly comprised stones measuring 0.05m by 0.05m by 0.05m. The burnt spread material extended over 7.5m (north/south) with blackened clay to the north and the south. The burnt spread material was situated on a localised raised clay bank. The feature has been interpreted as the remains of a burnt mound or fulacht fiadh site'.
