What is recorded here

A large area was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill. The geophysical survey conducted in October 2005 by Target Archaeological Geophysics outside the excavated area produced evidence of an enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) located c. 70m W of the ring-ditch (WX007-076010-). This enclosure has an opening at the NE, and the ring-ditch (WX007-076017-) is c. 10m to the N. (Stevens 2004a, 394; 2008, 54-5) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 March, 2012
