A geophysical survey (24R0190) was previously carried out which identified several small anomalies which were considered have archaeological potential, and a larger area which was identified as probably being a burnt spread/levelled fulacht fiadh. This was confirmed by test trenching. Fourteen trenches were excavated across the site. One archaeological feature, a spread of burnt and fire-cracked stone, measuring approximately 20m by 20m, was encountered.
