To the W of the enclosure (CL029-009007-) surrounding St. Brigid’s church (CL029-009006-). During excavations by de Paor in 1970-72 (Licence no. E000180) an area of intense metalworking activity was found here with numerous pits, a scatter of clinker and slag. One large pit had been repeatedly refilled with clay and redug, with small hollows showing traces of burning and containing much charcoal. A pit in this area has been radiocarbon dated to Cal AD 1034-1205 (UBA-30140) (Seaver and O'Sullivan 2015, 11-13). Two decorated querns were also found in this area. (de Paor 2013, 34, 51)
