This site was located within the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road scheme along Contract 2, Phase 4, Knocktopher to Powerstown. Four pits were spread over the site, most of which were quite shallow and seemingly truncated (0.1–0.2m in depth), with the exception of one pit which was 0.3m depth and from which possible Leinster cookware and some potential Ham Green ware was excavated. In addition to these, there was a very shallow possible hearth which was unenclosed and located some distance from any of the pits. Post-medieval north–south furrows were noted along with a north–south ditch.
