Situated within an enclosure (KK035-048001-) visible on the 1st ed OS 6-inch map, dated to cal AD 1050-1217 and partially excavated in 2006 in advance of the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road improvement scheme (Excavation licence no. E2513). A circular area (diam. 6m), identified following topsoil stripping during an archaeological assessment, defined by a slot-trench filled with charcoal, burnt clay and possible packing stones. The interior contained four possible post-holes and a central feature. A likely doorway was represented by a gap in the wall slot. Although portion of the enclosure was excavated in 2006 the house remained outside the limits of the excavation.
