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 C in area B. It is a circular area (int. diam. 5.5-5.6m; ext. diam. 6.8-7m) defined by a ditch with a U-shaped profile (Wth c. 0.6m; D c. 0.45m). The ditch had seven fills and produced 40 pieces of struck stone and two fragments of pottery, but no cremated remains were recoverd. Ring-ditch (WX007-076008-) is c. 4m to the E and ring-ditch (WX007-076009-) is c. 2m to the S. (Stevens 2008a, 392; 2008, 36-7)
