This site 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.
This is Structure J in area A, where three parallel lines of pits are roughly aligned WNW-ESE. The N line consists of eight large but shallow pits extending from N of ring-ditch (WX007-076004-) to beyond the excavated area at E (L 16m plus). The S row (L 6m plus) has smaller pits and had some associated lithics and pottery, while the central row was shorter and equidistant from the other two. The flat cemetery (WX007-076003-) is c. 8m to the N. (Stevens 2008a, 392; 2008, 17-19)
