Excavated (E4200) by D. Gallagher as part of Drumgold 1 in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme. There is a hut-site (Structure 2) 7m NW of the hut-site (WX026-080002-) and separated from it by the E-W palisade trenches of the rectangular enclosure (WX026-080001-), which means this hut-site may be outside enclosure. This structure (int. diam. c. 6.25m NW-SE) is defined by a slot-trench (Wth 0.14-0.47m; D 0.06-0.27m) with post-holes on its line. It has an entrance (Wth c. 1m) at E, marked by two post-holes. There are two large pits (dims 1.01m x 0.78m; D 0.33m: 1.8m x 0.5m plus; D 1m) in the interior. A large quantity of flint and prehistoric pottery was recovered from the site.
