Excavated in advance of construction of the N9/N10 Kilcullen-Waterford Road (Excavation Licence number E2595), a circular slot trench (diam 7m; Wth of trench 0.55m) was uncovered. No finds were recovered from the trench but 15 stone artefacts including a barbed and tanged arrowhead and a polished stone axe were recovered in the immediate area. A late Neolithic to early/middle Bronze age date has been suggested for the structure. It was heavily disturbed by ditches dating to the medieval period (CW007-140----).
