One of 86 charcoal production sites recorded by Healy in 1972 and referred to by him as platform '77' (Healy 1972, 146). A test excavation was carried out on this platform (L 5m; Wth 3.5m) and two others (WI023-029002- and WI023-029004-) in 2009 by UCD School of Archaeology as part of its training fieldwork programme (Warren and McDermott 2012, 228; Warren et al. 2013, 85-112). The results led the excavators to suggest that this is 'a platform associated with a mound kiln' (Warren et al. 2013, 90) and a charcoal sample produced radiocarbon dates of AD 1690-1730 and 1810-1920 (Warren et al. 2013, 92).
