What is recorded here

Excavated in 2006-7 in advance of the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford Road Improvement Scheme. Excavation licence no. 2517, AR054, Area E. One of a cluster of monuments found in close proximity to each other in an area c. 1.8ha with dates ranging from the Late Neolithic to the early medieval period. A circular ring-slot trench (diam. c. 5m), wider and deeper than other similar monuments in the area (KK031-077----, KK031-078----). These structures are interpreted as medieval and would appear to be contemporary with a ringfort (KK031-082----) that truncates the palisaded enclosure. Radiocarbon dated to 899-1028 AD (UBA 10698).
