Excavated (06E0277) as site 7b on the line of a water-pipe for the East Waterford Mains Supply. It is situated on a gentle E-facing slope with a N-S stream c. 160m to the E. A mound of broken and burnt stone (dims. 13m N-S; 9m E-W) was cut by a modern E-W field drain (Wth 3.5m) towards its S end, and it extended outside the excavated area to the W. A trail of burnt stone extended off to the E (L c. 9m) but there was no evidence of a hearth or of troughs. Burnt mound (WA015-110----) is c. 160m to the S.
