Burnt mound in area 5 was excavated in 2020 under licence 17E0292 by Muireann Ní Cheallacháin for IAC Archaeology during construction phase of residential development by Cairn Homes PLC.
Monument was described as following; 'Located c. 2.5m to the northeast was a second, much smaller sub-rectangular spread of burnt mound material (Mound B) consisting of a single layer of loose, black silty sand and burnt stone, under which a trough feature was identified in the southwest corner. The trough contained a single fill, of a similar material to C615, deposited
once the trough had gone out of use. The trough and eastern edge of Mound B was cut by a
modern field drain, containing a single fill (C616) with frequent stone inclusions, and further modern field drains also cut the eastern and northern edge of Mound A [WI013-139----] ' (Ní Cheallacháin and Spencer 2020, 38-9).
