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 ring-ditdh I in area A, a circular area (int. diam. 7m; ext. diam. 8-9m) defined by a penannular ditch (Wth 0.6-0.9m; D 0.25) with openings at W (Wth 3.6m) and N (Wth 1.85m). The ditch contained 169 quartz and flint artefacts, small quantites of cremated bone, and a single sherd of pottery. The ditch at E cuts a cremation pit of structure (WX007-076005-) and marked it with a post, indicating that it post-dates it.
