This was one of a series of archaeological investigations carried out on the proposed route of the N9 Realignment at Moone–Timolin–Ballitore Hill. A series of low earthen banks or mounds was noted in the initial paper survey. Four cuttings were excavated, investigating different parts of the feature. No structural remains were found: the 'banks' and 'mounds' were irregularities left by gravel-digging. Some scattered medieval pottery was found in the topsoil, along with a few metal objects of unknown date.
