Three sides of a rectilinear enclosure and a number of pits were identified in 2004 during archaeological monitoring of top soil stripping as part of the extension to the Whiteriver Landfill site (Excavation Licence No. 04E0601) (Bolger 2004, 270). Partial excavation (Excavation Licence No. 04E1531) uncovered a number of further pits, postholes and ditches and established that the enclosure measured c. 24m x 19m. A fragment of a lignite bracelet was recovered from an upper fill of the ditch of the rectilinear enclosure. The excavator suggested that the enclosure probably dates to the Early Christian period. The site was preserved in situ. (McConway 2007, 270) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 11 July 2012
