Situated on a slight gravel ridge just above the high water mark on the SW shore of the Newry River estuary. Archaeological excavation (E004498) in advance of a new bridge recorded a large shallow cut (dims c. 15m NW-SE; c. 3-5m NE-SW; max. D 0.4m) with an uneven base filled with a charcoal-rich mix of clay and silts and some small fire-shattered stones. Samples of oak, alder, hazel, elm and ash were identified but the lithic assemblage was relatively small amounting to five completed objects and debris. The pit (LH002-012002-) is c. 10m to the N. (Walsh 2015, 301-02)
