Located towards the bottom of a N-facing slope and c. 80m SE of a meandering E-W stream. Archaeological monitoring of topsoil removal (E004791) during the construction phase of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy motorway in October 2016 identified a single pit (dims 1.7m E-W; 1.5m N-S; max. D 0.65m) which was fully resolved with the same licence. It had three fills, the lowest of which included charcoal which proved to be entirely oak. No artefacts were recovered but a fragment of the charcoal produced a C14 date of 3893-3661 cal. BC, placing it firmly in the early Neolithic. (Coughlan 2018)
