Monitoring of groundworks associated with the extension of Knockloughrim Quarry was carried out during August and September 2012. Several archaeological features were identified including five cremations, forty-four pits, forty post-holes and thirteen stake-holes. Four of the cremations were located in simple pits while the fifth was contained within an inverted urn. The pits, post- and stake-holes were scattered across the site and no structure, apart from a possible windbreak, was identified. Finds from the site include prehistoric pottery and flint artefacts.
