Situated on high ground, in tillage field immediately W and S of church (KD023-008----) and graveyard (KD023-008001-). Inspection of the field by David Brennan over several seasons has retrieved hundreds of flint and chert artefacts lying on the surface of the plough soil. All the lithic artefacts are now with the National Museum of Ireland. In 2009, a Neolithic stone axe (possibly Dolerite) was also found on the surface of the plough soil, approximately 60 metres downslope of the western edge of the newly discovered sub-circular shaped enclosure (KD023-128----). The late Professor Peter Woodman visited the site and recorded the scatter as a probable Early Mesolithic site (Woodman 2015, ). However, examination of the complete lithic assemblage indicates that there was activity present at this site from the Mesolithic right through to later prehistoric periods.
