The National Monuments Service's description
Excavated in advance of construction of the N9/N10 Kilcullen-Waterford Road (Excavation Licence number A021/045 (testing phase)). To the N of a single burial (CW012-119----), 'a possible post-hole and sub-rectangular pit were recorded. The pit contained evidence for burning in situ. Two narrow gullies or ditches were also identified, one of which contained burnt-mound-type material and small particles of burnt bone in its fill' (Hughs, J. 2008, 26).
