The National Monuments Service's description

Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and resolved by A. Mulcahy as Oulartard 1 (E4350) during the testing stage (Hardy et al. 2010, 70). It is situated on a W-facing slope with a N-S stream c. 200m to the W. This is a single pit (dims 0.9m x 0.8m; D 0.1m) filled with a black silty clay with frequent charcoal and moderate stone inclusions. A sample provided a C14 date of Cal. BC 3748-3532, providing an Early Neolithic date. The pit (WX020-082----) c. 35m to the E is completely unconnected with this feature. (Mulcahy 2011; 2013)
