The burial is modest in scale and easily overlooked, yet what was found here speaks to deliberate, careful ritual: an upturned pot, crushed and placed over tiny fragments of cremated bone, tucked into a v-shaped pit in the earth.

Excavation in 1997 uncovered a cluster of post-pits and small pits spread across an area roughly seven metres long by just under six metres wide. Among them were two features of particular interest. The first was an oval pit, little more than half a metre across and only twenty centimetres deep, filled with charcoal, silty clay, and minute burnt bone fragments. The second was the v-shaped pit containing the upturned, crushed pot with its fragments of cremated bone, a burial form associated with prehistoric funerary practice in Ireland, in which the remains of the dead, reduced by fire, were placed in a ceramic vessel and interred in the ground. The inversion of the pot, placed mouth-downward over the remains, is a gesture found at other prehistoric burial sites across the island, though its precise meaning is not fully understood. The glacial ridge on which all of this sits would have been a visible, elevated feature in the landscape, and the choice of such a location for burial may well have been intentional.
