A small burnt spread was excavated at Ballinclare, Co. Wicklow, from 23 to 27 November 2009 as part of the N11 Rathnew–Arklow road improvement scheme. This site was located in an area that was previously inaccessible during the main bulk of excavations that were carried out on the scheme in 2006.
The burnt spread was situated on the edge of a stream and adjacent to an area of outcropping bedrock. The spread measured 7.2m by 5.5m by 0.2m deep and consisted of charcoal-rich soil and a moderate quantity of heat-affected stone. There were no cut features associated with this spread.
