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-ditch A in area B, a circular area (int. diam. 9.3-9.45m; ext. diam. 10.45-10.8m) defined by a narrow ditch with no opening. It was filled with silty layers that produced some charcoal and a few lithics but no pottery or cremated remains. Ring-ditch (WX007-076009-) is just to the SW and ring-ditch (WX007-076010-) is immediately to the W. (Stevens 2008a, 392; 2008, 34)
