Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Myaugh 3 (Hardy et al. 2010, 68). It is located on a slight SE-NW spur with a SE-NW section of a small NE-SW stream c. 230m to the NE. When completely excavated (E4230) by M. McNamara it proved to be the bottom of a large rectangular pit (dims 3.7m NW-SE; 2.2m NE-W; D 0.2m) with a fire-reddened base and four charcoal-bearing fills, and it might be interpreted as a cremation-pit. A smaller pit (diam. 0.9m; D 0.25m) was located 1m S, which may have held a marker-post. A worked flint, and burnt bone were recovered from the fill of the larger feature, and a grinding stone was found in the topsoil. (Hardy 2012; McNamara 2013)
