This site was excavated (E3493) during 2005 as Site 31 and 32 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. Situated in a low-lying area with a N-S stream immediately to the W. Several surface deposits of broken and burnt stone material were on the N bank of an E-W palaeo-channel and overaly a pit or trough (diam. 1.8m) at the N edge of the channel filled with silts and burnt stone which extended around it (dims 4m x 3m). There is a second, smaller pit c. 3.5m to the W. The mound material overlay an area with stake-holes that appears to have been outside the burnt mound area.
