The great mound(Site B) was excavated between 1963 and 1971.
It is approximately 6m high and 50m in diameter at the base.
About 2/3 of the site was excavated and approximately 1/3 of the lowest part of the mound, on the north, was left undisturbed for future investigation.
After excavation the mound was restored to its original form.
Phases 1-2 consisted of activity on the hilltop in the 4th or 3rd millennium BC.
Phase 1 was marked by scatters of pottery and several hundred flaked flints, a number of flint implements, including a Bann Flake and three fragments of polished stone axes.
The hilltop was ploughed sometime after this early activity as shown by faint shallow gullies filled with a thin fossil plough soil in phase 2.
Phase 3 represents the major period of later
