Situated in a greenfield area directly north of Celbridge town. Site bounded to the West by R405. The majority of the site was located on pastureland, although the SW portion was truncated by a laneway with mature hedgerows. No surface remains visible of enclosure prior to excavation. The site consisted of an earth-cut enclosure [KD011-069----] defined by 2 concentric ditches. It was initially identified through geophysical survey (Nicholls 2018) and test excavation (Coen 2019). Full excavation (Coen 2019) revealed that the enclosure ditch 1.6-2.6m wide by 1.5m deep (max) and would have originally enclosed an area of c.2,965 sq. m. Areas excavated outside of the main enclosure revealed additional features: 2 corn drying kilns, bowl furnace and portion of field system marked out with narrow ditches. One inhumation burial was discovered within main enclosure ditch.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KD011-069001
