A further season of excavation, funded and serviced by Rathmichael Historical Society, was conducted in 1986 as part of the annual summer school course in Field Archaeology.

In this, the final season, the area surrounding an upright stone anvil was investigated and the remainder of the site was cleared to boulder clay. Some pieces of worked flint were recovered from the base of the phase 2 cobbled layer, together with slag, furnace bottoms, charcoal, broken animal bone, and flint fragments/pebbles.
