On a gentle SSW-facing slope, in pasture, on the N side of Schoolhouse Road, Castletroy. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Situated due N of miscellaneous excavations (LI005-086----) (License No. 02E1787) which took place in 2002 on the adjacent distributor road. Identified by Flor Hurley in 2003 during monitoring (License No. 03E1382) for a housing scheme known as Glantan. The features (F1-F6) were excavated (License No. 03E1717) by Niamh O’ Callaghan later in 2003 and consisted of three linear features and three subcircular-shaped features. The former consist of a linear feature (L 7m; Wth 1.3m) aligned NW-SE, a second linear feature (L c. 9m; Wth 0.75-0.9m) aligned ENE-WSW and a third linear feature (L 3m; Wth 0.27m) aligned N-S. The latter consist of an irregular subcircular-shaped feature (L 1.17m E-W; 1.07m N-S), a subcircular-shaped spread (0.42m N-S; 0.34m E-W) and an oval-shaped spread of burnt soil (0.64m N-S; 1.04m E-W) ('Callaghan 2006, 309).
