This site was excavated by Kate Taylor (02E0899) as part of Bord Gáis Éireann's Pipeline to the West. It was on the western edge of a low-lying area of bog, at the base of a steep hill. This is the record for the "possible wooden trackway recorded within the peat was constructed from a few large pieces of timber and smaller branches. Three worked stakes were driven in nearby to support the rough structure. Preserved grass, found below the timbers, may have been deliberately laid as part of the construction. A small assemblage of animal bone and the only sherd of prehistoric pottery from the site were recovered from this possible trackway."
