This site was located within the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road scheme along Contract 2, Phase 4B, Knocktopher to Powerstown, in a heavily ploughed flat field. An area 15m by 15m was stripped of topsoil and an isolated pit (0.4m by 0.25m by 0.12m) with a naturally silted deposit and a patch of fire-reddened subsoil of apparent geological origin, 4.2m north-west of the pit, were located.
