What is recorded here

This site was excavated (E3499) during 2005 as Site 39 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. Located on the lower W-facing slope of Ask Hill. A slight slot-trench (Wth 0.18-0.4m; D 0.13-0.22m) enclosed a rectangular area (dims. 5.5m N-S; 4.4m E-W) which had an entrance (Wth c. 0.7m) on the W side flanked by post-holes. Each door-post had a companion and there are some possible corner posts. There were also two post-holes in the interior, but there was no evidence of a hearth. There was evidence of a post and plank construction in the slot-trench N of the entrance. No artefacts were recovered and the amount of charred grain suggests that it may have been a grain store that burnt down. Fulacht fia (WX007-074001-) is c. 100m to the NE.
