A corn-drying kiln associated with a collection of pits and gullies was excavated ahead of the Tyrrelstown to N2 Cherryhound Interchange link road in 2008 (E3920). The kiln was a SE-NW orientated, steep-sided hollow with a concave oxidised base. It contained four stratified deposits representing successive phases of use. Charcoal remains of alder, hazel, cherries, elm and Maloideae were present. It was radiocarbon dated to AD1020-1180 . A single piece of flint and a single fragment of Dublin-type ware were recoved in the topsoil (O' Hara , R. 2011, 104).
