What is recorded here

This site was excavated (E3501) during 2005 as a part of Site 41 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. Located on a slight shelf on the lower W-facing slope of Ask Hill. An extensive burnt mound (dims 10m x 8.5m; T 0.4m) overlay a rectangular, flat-bottom trough (dims. 2.26m NE-SW; 1.44m NW-SE; D 0.35m) with hints of planking. There were groups of stake-holes outside the N and E angles and outside the SW side. A large pit (dims 3.7m x 3.3m ; D 1.15m) just to the NW was used to collect excess water and might also have had planking on the sides. Fulacht fia (WX007-074001-) is c. 100m to the S.
