On a W-facing slope in heavily ploughed agricultural land. Excavated in 2007 in advance of the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road improvement scheme (Licence no. E3671). An oval-shaped pit with a small flue extending at SE and evidence of intense burning. A single deposit contained a mixture of burnt clay, charcoal and other waste material. Three pits found 8m to the E and SE were interpreted as waste pits. A sample of charcoal from the fill of the pit returned a radiocarbon date of 750-408 cal BC (UBA-14026). (Devine 2010, 242, no. 910; Devine and Coughlan 2011)
