This site consisted of the remains of a possible burnt mound or fulacht fiadh, measuring 6m by 3.5m. The heat-affected stone in the deposit was over 90% shattered limestone. There were occasional orange sandstone fragments. The matrix consisted of black loose silt, with a very small amount of charcoal. There were no finds or features.
