The site was exposed at chainage 19530, in the centre 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 site was identified as a possibly natural area containing stone cobbling.
An area of natural cobbling was exposed that measured 2.08m in length, 0.9m in width and consisted of a large number of angular limestone and shale pebbles ranging in diameter from 20mm to 210mm. No archaeological deposits or features were exposed and no finds were recovered.
