The excavation, carried out under licence in 2001 and 2002, revealed a cluster of features spanning different periods and practices. The enclosure has been dated to the 12th or 13th century, placing it in the medieval period, when such enclosed settlements or field boundaries were common across Ireland. The urn burial, a practice in which cremated remains are placed inside a ceramic vessel before interment, belongs to a much older tradition, though the notes do not specify its precise date. Alongside it, a cremated pit burial, where remains are deposited directly into a cut in the ground rather than within a container, suggests that this area of Rossana carried some significance over a long span of time. The numerous hearths add another layer, pointing to repeated human activity on the site, whether domestic, industrial, or ritual in nature.
