Ballydawmore 7 was located on the proposed M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy scheme in pasture.
The pit was circular in plan, measuring 1.1m in diameter. The bowl-shaped feature had concave sides and base, reaching a maximum depth of 0.12m. Oxidised clay was identified at the base of the pit, which provided evidence of in situ burning. The pit contained two fills: a primary fill of compact dark-brownish/grey clayey sand which contained charcoal and oxidised clay and a secondary fill of charcoal-rich compact brownish/grey clayey sand. A large flat stone measuring 0.3m by 0.34m was found on top of the fills.
No finds were recovered from the site.
