Situated at the bottom of a SE-facing slope and at the headwaters of a canalised NE-SW stream which is c. 15m to the SE. This monument was first identified in archaeological testing (E004551) of land required for the M11 Motorway (Ruttle 2014, 16), and was subsequently completely excavated (E004593) as Ballyorrill 2. A small mound of broken and burnt stone (dims 1.7m x 1.5m; T 0.13m) was close to but did not cover an oval trough (dims 1.5m x 1.1m; max. D 0.28m) that was filled with a dark grey silty clay with plentiful burnt stone beneath a layer of red/brown silty clay with iron-panning and burnt stones. No artefacts were recovered.
