This site was excavated as part of the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford scheme, Phase 3: Kilcullen to Carlow. An area measuring 30m by 30m was stripped of topsoil to a depth of between 0.3m and 0.45m. A double linear ditch was uncovered running in an east–west direction across the site. There was a 3.5–4m distance between the two ditches. A number of furrows ran parallel to the ditches. Ditch 003 measured 1.5m wide and 0.8m in depth. Ditch 010 was 1m wide and 0.6m in depth.
