Two Bronze Age structures were excavated here in 2003, prior to the construction of the dual carriageway from the R671 to Greystones (Excavation Licence 03E0146 (Site D)). 'Structure I' (diam. 10m) was defined by a double ring of post-holes some of which contained cremation deposits and sherds of Bronze Age pottery. 'Structure II' (diam. 10m) was defined by a single row of post-holes and its northern limit was truncated by a series of pits and post-holes. Three linear ditches were located at the eastern extent of the site forming a probable enclosure with an east-facing entrance. A large number of associated pits, post-holes, hearths and a possible metalled surface were also excavated and yielded a fragment of bronze, Early Neolithic and Bronze Age pottery and six saddle querns. Two kilns were also excavated and a rotary quern was found in the larger one. (Molloy 2006, 546)
