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 2 (E4349) during the testing stage (Hardy et al. 2010, 70). It is situated on a W-facing slope with a N-S stream c. 150m to the W. This is a single pit (dims 1.28m x 1.2m; D 0.15m) with a lower fill of black silty clay with frequent charcoal and burnt stone inclusions. A sample from this provided a C14 date of Cal. AD 445-624. The pit (WX020-081----) c. 35m to the W is completely unconnected with this feature. (Mulcahy 2011; 2013)
