Two burnt stone spreads (F3 & F8), measuring 12m by 7m by 0.2m in depth and 4.6m by 4m by 0.2m in depth respectively were identified at Carrownaclea 1. Both spreads may originally have been part of the one spread but disturbed at a later date. A number of shallow depressions were identified under the spread, filled with burnt stone and charcoal, but no evidence for a trough was uncovered within the limits of the site. No finds were recovered from this site. Post-excavation analysis is ongoing for this site and it is hoped to obtain dating evidence from radiocarbon analysis of charcoal samples recovered
