This site was located within Contract 3 (Navan bypass) of the proposed M3 Clonee to north of Kells motorway and was identified during advance testing by Neil Fairburn during May 2004 (Excavations 2004, No. 1157, 04E0581). Full resolution in August 2006 revealed a spread of burnt-mound material (4.2m by 2.4m by 0.7m) that overlay a layer of burnt-mound material (3.7m by 3.6m by 0.5m). Two oval post-holes and three pits were also identified.
