The site was exposed at chainage 19670, in the eastern portion of the proposed motorway in the townland of Kilsharvan, during monitoring of topsoil-stripping carried out during groundworks associated with the construction of Contract 7 of the Northern Motorway Project.
The feature was identified as a probable natural feature during monitoring, and this was confirmed during the excavation. It consisted of a roughly circular area 0.47m in diameter and was identified as an area of natural staining caused by a decayed stone. A modern field drain was also exposed to the south of the natural feature, which continued across the route of the proposed motorway from east to west.
No archaeological features or deposits were exposed and no finds were recovered.
