A burnt stone spread (F3), a possible pit (F4) and a modern former hedge line (F5) were identified at Carrownaclea 2. The burnt stone spread measured 10m north-south by 8m. The pit measured 1m east-west by 0.5m and was 0.3m deep. No finds were recovered from the site. Post-excavation analysis is ongoing for this site and it is hoped to obtain dating evidence from radiocarbon analysis of charcoal samples recovered
