On the E-facing slope of a roughly N-S orientated ridge, excavated in advance of construction of the N8 Cashel Bypass and N74 Link Road South. A subcircular pit (dims. 1.41m x 1.02m; D 0.3m) with two separate fills containing 254 sherds of Bronze Age pottery. At least four separate pottery types were identified, including several decorated sherds with nail impressions in a crow's-foot pattern. Cremated and crushed bone, substantial quantities of charred hazelnuts and acorns and a small polished stone axe were recovered with the pottery (O'Flanagan 2006, 474). A second pit (TS061-172----) containing similar pottery but no cremated bone was excavated 2.4m to the WNW (Hughes and Macleod 2003, 12). A group of post-holes (TS061-173----) less than 20m to the N may be associated with these pits (O'Flanagan 2006, 474).
