This site was selected for excavation as part of the 2001 Bord na Móna Archaeological Mitigation Project. It was a small brushwood platform that was identified on the field surface during the 1999 reassessment survey of Derrycolumb 5 Bog as 99DBSE0002A. Between inspection of the site location in early June and commencement of the excavation season in July 2001 the site had been almost completely destroyed. As a result no archaeological work was carried out on this site this season.
