A ring-ditch (WI013-077----), a large cremation pit (WI013-113----) and two small structures (WI013-114----and WI013-115----) were excavated here in 2003, prior to the construction of the dual carriageway from the R671 to Greystones (Excavation Licence 03E0147 (Site F)). The ring-ditch (Wth 1.4m; av. D 0.6m) enclosed a circular area (diams. 5.6m N-S; 5.39m E-W). Nine flints were found in the ditch. The cremation pit was located 3.07m to the north-east of the ring-ditch and contained deposits of cremated bone, charcoal and large stones. A small circular structure (diam. 3m N-S; 2.8m E-W), 10m to the west of the ring-ditch, was defined by a narrow, circular slot-trench with two post-holes defining an entrance (Wth 0.9m). There was also a centrally placed post-hole and the slot-trench was ringed with an outer circle of post-holes in which several fragments of prehistoric pottery were found. A second, small structure, located 11m north of the former, was formed by a series of post-holes and stake-holes which defined a circular depression (diam. 2.76m; D 0.14m).
