The site encompasses a group of fields at the junction between Luffany and Rathpatrick townlands. Testing revealed the remains of post-medieval drainage works, cultivation trenches and field systems. Just at the junction between dry pasture and marsh, the remains of a burnt mound survived. These features and their hinterlands will be subject to more extensive investigation and excavation before construction.
