On a SE-facing slope. Excavated in 2007 in advance of the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road improvement scheme (Licence no. E3606, Area B). Two troughs and two pits were identified in Area B. A dark stain was all that remained of burnt mound material. Trough 1 was subrectangular and contained four post/stake-holes in its base. A small pit lay to the E but its function was unclear. Trough 2 lay to the E of Trough 1. Twenty stake-holes were found around the edge. Two samples from the troughs yielded radiocarbon dates of 1740-1630 cal BC (UBA-14023) and 1874-1641 cal BC (UBA-14116). (Devine 2010, 242, no. 908; Devine and Coughlan 2012)
