Further excavation at Brackagh Quarry uncovered a cluster of six stake-holes and four pits (see Excavations 2008, No. 294, AE/07/219, for earlier work at the site). One of the pits contained a cist and 22 sherds of pottery. Close to this was a second pit, which contained a high concentration of cremated animal and human bone. The third pit in this cluster was a post-hole surrounded by four stake-holes. The final pit and stake-holes lay to the south and east of this arrangement.
