The National Monuments Service's description
This is the record for the Bronze Age settlement site excavated by Thaddeus Breen (97E0324) on the Arklow bypass road scheme. The site consisted postholes representing an oval structure (diam. 7.5m) and an assortment of other postholes forming no discernible pattern. No hearth was found but the site had been heavily truncated. Associated with these postholes were struck flakes of poor-quality flint and pottery sherds from Beaker, Cordoned Urn and Vast vessels, dating the site to the Bronze Age.
