During an archaeological evaluation of a proposed pipeline route in January 1993 a trench was sunk to examine one of several raised disc shaped features, 15-20m in diameter, much drier than the surrounding boggy ground. The feature tested had no archaeological significance, with the trench bottoming out at 0.25m where a natural outcrop of rock lay close to the surface, creating the surface feature.
