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 collection of cremation pits - D in area B - located 5-12m N of ring-ditch (WX007-076010-). It is a rectangular area (dims. c. 7m NE-SW; c. 7m NW-SE) containing at least five cremation pits and other pits, some with lithics and one with pottery. They are associated with a four-poster structure consisting of four post-holes in a diamond shape (dims. x. 3.5m x 3m) surrounding a cremation pit. (Stevens 2008, 31-4; 2008a 392)
