What is recorded here

Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Toom 4 (Hardy et al. 2010, 75). It is situated towards the top of a slight S-facing slope. Excavation (E4339) by L. Barker recorded a single hearth (dims 0.88m x 0.8m; T 0.24m) with a concave base containing two fills of sandy clay with charcoal that are best interpreted as a hearth. No artefacts were recovered and no date can be attributed to it. The pits and post-holes (WX020-100----) are c. 140m to the NNE.
