This site was located within the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road scheme along Contract 2, Phase 4, Knocktopher to Powerstown. The site of a temporary shelter, discovered in a 15m2 excavation area, was made up of a 3.2m by 0.4m by 0.27m deep curvilinear gully trench that may have held four timbers and two possible post-holes that supported posts for a possible lean-to-type structure. A single pit was discovered 2.5m to the east of the structure. No finds were recovered.
