Listed in the SMR (1988) as 'Mound (possible)'. As it lay on the route of the proposed Newbridge by-pass motorway, archaeological excavation (Byrne and Keeley, 1987:29 www.excavations.ie) funded by Kildare County Council took place in July 1987. It was a modern, low, oval, earthen mound (H 1.5m; diams. 11.55m by 5m) composed of redeposited topsoil containing a large quantity of modern pottery, glass, clay pipes and some stoneware and iron objects. All the finds were in a very fragmentary and often abraded condition and were dispersed throughout the mound material. Similar finds were located in the buried soil beneath the mound. A single small sherd of unglazed medieval pottery was found in the buried subsoil but was not associated with any archaeological feature.
