Archaeological monitoring was carried out during development. A small spread of re-deposited fulacht fia material was identified close to the south-eastern edge of the buffer zone for the recorded fulacht fia. It was excavated by hand and measured 1.8m north-south by 0.8m by 0.08m deep. It may represent material redeposited in an undulation or a heavily truncated pit or trough associated with the nearby monument.
