This site was excavated as part of the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford scheme, Phase 3: Kilcullen to Carlow. A small spread of burnt-mound material was identified during testing by CRDS Ltd. Resolution of the site was undertaken in October 2007. An area measuring 100m2 was stripped of topsoil. No additional features were identified during this excavation. Post-excavation analysis is ongoing and should provide suitable material for radiocarbon dating and archaeobotanical analysis.
