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 Area D, c. 40-60m S and SW of enclosure (WX007-076014-) in Area C. Activity was thinly scattered in this area and consisted of two islolated cremated pit burials, and an isolated hearth. In the SW of the area two pit burials were close together, and within 4m an almost complete pot was recovered from a shallow depression and a much truncated pot was also recovered within the same range.
