Zusammenfassung:This was a previously known classic kidney shaped burnt mound which was listed as a Recorded Monument (GA103:083). The site was located within the lands acquired for the N18 Oranmore to Gort scheme and was fully excavated. The large mound consisted of a series of deposits consistent with those from other burnt mounds. A single oval shaped trough was located partially under the mound and to the north-west of the expected trough location at the centre of the kidney shape. Some slag and a chert scraper (E3866:23:1) were recovered from stratified deposits within the mound.
