On an E-facing slope in pasture. Excavated in 2006 in advance of the N9/N10 Waterford to Kilcullen Road Improvement Scheme (Excavation licence no. E2498). A spread of loosely packed heat-shattered stone and charcoal (6.3m N-S; 5m E-W, T 0.11m) extending W beyond the limits of the excavation. The spread lay above a deposit of charcoal 0.4m in depth. A sherd of prehistoric pottery and some waste flint were recovered from the spread and a flint core was found in the topsoil above it. A sample of charcoal from the spread was radiocarbon dated to 1120-910 cal BC (Poz-26963). An early medieval kiln (KK043-095----) lay 9m to the SE. (Wren 2009, 259, no. 1017; 2010)
