Partially excavated in advance of construction of the N9/N10 Kilcullen-Waterford Road (Excavation Licence number E2581; area 1 in final report). A curvilinear ditch (Wth 3.25m; D 0.85m) with gently sloping sides and a relatively flat base cut into bedrock. Bank (H 1-2m) immediately to E. Only a small portion within the line of the road take. A number of pieces of 18th/19th century pottery were discovered in the basal fill. Most likely associated with Busherstown church and graveyard (CW008-017001- and CW008-017002-).
