What is recorded here

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 a furnace-bottom located just 1.5m SE of the ring-ditch (WX007-076009-) in area B. It is a circular, straight-sided pit (diam. 1.3m; D 0.3m) with tree fills cut into fire-reddened subsoil. (Stevens 2008, 37-8) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 March, 2012
