This site was located within the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road scheme along Contract 2, Phase 4B, Knocktopher to Powerstown, and represented a burnt spread (21m by 22m). A trough and possible working platform which had no evidence of a timber lining were sealed by the burnt spread. Four pits were located around the trough and probably functioned as a windbreak or butchering stand connected with the trough activity. To the east of the main spread were four other pits which were filled with burnt-mound material.
