Excavated completely (00E0471) as part of the investigation of the moated site (WX036-079001-) on the N25 Wexford to New Ross re-alignment. Outside the NE moat and about 10m NE of the kiln (WX036-079002-) was an area where occupation deposits containing ceramic waste and one small semi-circle of stake-holes representing a temporary shelter were recovered. This area is likely to have been the location of a midden and dung-heap, and it produced a calibrated C14 date of cal. AD 1297-1431 (Eogan and Kelly 2016, 218). The area was bordered at N by an E-W ditch that contained ceramic waste and turned N at its E end.
