This site was excavated as part of the pre-construction archaeological mitigation of the N25 Waterford bypass, alternative route. An area 16m by 20m was stripped and three pits, a hearth and several associated stake-holes were identified. Finds of pottery, chert and flint were recovered from the features and a small flint arrowhead was found in the topsoil. It is likely that the features uncovered may represent a small area of transient prehistoric activity.
