In a wetland area, on the W side of a road. One of a cluster of six sites (SL040-03002-; SL040-03003-; SL040-03102-; SL040-03103-; SL040-23001-) found during monitoring of the realignment of the N4 road from Hollybrook Estate to Castlebaldwin in the Summer of 1998 (Desmond 1998, 11). It consisted of a thin spread (3.2m E-W; 3m N-S; D 0.15m) of burnt stone and reddened soil under 0.5m of undisturbed sod and peat. A concentration of stone was noted in the centre of the spread. Following recording this site was covered with geo-textile, peat and topsoil and remains undisturbed. (Desmond 2000, 183-4)
