The site, in Ballyvaltron, c. 8km south-west of Wicklow town, comprised a ditch. The archaeological investigation was undertaken in May to June 2006 on behalf of the National Roads Authority on the route of the N11 Rathnew to Arklow road improvement. The site, which measured 10m by 10m, was situated in low-lying marshy ground c. 100m north of WI036–005, a church. This site comprised an east–west-aligned ditch containing a modern drain. Several poor-quality flint fragments were recovered.
