This site was located within Contract 2 (Dunshaughlin to Navan) of the proposed M3 Clonee to north of Kells motorway and was identified during advance testing by Linda Clarke in April 2004 (Excavations 2004, No. 1339, 04E0424). Full resolution of the site in October 2006 revealed the heavily truncated remains of a curvilinear slot-trench (3.4m by 0.42m by 0.14m), two post-holes and a pit. A fragment of struck flint was recovered from the curvilinear feature. The function of the site is unknown but is likely to relate to settlement activity.
