This site was excavated (E3679) during 2005 as a part of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link at a location used as a construction compound. Situated on top of a slight rise. Soil-stripping revealed a single pit (dims 1.04m x 0.88m; D 0.24m) cut in fire-reddened subsoil that was filled with a black silty clay with charcoal flecks. (Breen 2008)
