This site was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill.
This is ring-ditch F in area A, a circular area (int. diam. 3.5m; ext. diam. 5.35m) defined by a penannular ditch (Wth c. 0.9m; D c. 0.25m) interupted (Wth c. 2m) at the NW, but the gap is occupied by a pit (diam. 1.2m; D 0.1m) that contained a cremation. Two chared planks and cremeated bone were in the ditch together with lithics and a glass bead. Flat cemetery (WX007-076003-) is c. 8m to the ESE. (Stevens 2008a, 392; 2008, 10-11)
