A fulacht fia was excavated here in 2003 (Excavation Licence 03E0592 (Site CA1)). The burnt mound (L 14m E-W; Wth 11.5m; D 0.2m) sealed four troughs and a number of post-holes and stake-holes were found associated with the troughs. One of the troughs (D c. 1m) had a wattle lining which predated an internal lining of roundwoods on the E and W sides, and timber plank flooring. Set in the base of this trough was a set of six prehistoric pipes, made of yew and thought to be part of a musical instrument. A radiocarbon date of between 2120 and 2085 BC was obtained from a peg used in the construction of the trough lining. (Molloy 2006, 545; Molloy 2004, 5)
