Description
On a gentle E-facing slope overlooking the river Blackwater, in an area of poor,wet, rough pasture. A rectangular area (int. dims. L48m E-W; Wth. 24m N-S) is defined by a low earthen bank (Wth c. 2.25m at W-c.4.5m at S; int. H c. 0.75m at W-c.1m at N and E; ext. H c. 1m at S to c. 2m at N), and an outer fosse (Wth c. 1.5m at S-c.2.5m elsewhere; D c. 0.5m at W-c.1m at N) which incorporates a natural depression (Wth c. 5m) at E. There are slightly raised earthen platforms (upcast from the fosse) in the corners of the otherwise level and boggy interior.

- KD003-029 Hearth
Description
In 2002, archaeological excavation (Licence No. 02E1088) was carried out on behalf of Westmeath County Council at Moyvalley 1, Co. Kildare, before the construction of the M4 Kinnegad-Enfield- Kilcock Motorway Scheme. One hearth and four oxidised features, possibly hearths, were excavated. The largest was an oval cut, measuring 1.5m east-west by 0.7m by 0.25m deep. Its sides were almost vertical, with a gradual break of slope at the base, leading to a generally flat base, which sloped from east to west. Both sides and base were noticeably oxidised. The fill was moderately compact, mid-brown, clayey silt. It contained only occasional stone (around 10% of the deposit; mostly sub-angular pebbles) and occasional to moderate amounts of charcoal (mostly flecking but with a number of larger pieces). No finds or faunal remains were recovered, but the charcoal returned a radiocarbon date of cal. 360 BC to AD 70. The remaining features survived only as oxidised patches of clay, without charcoal or cultural material, and were 0.2-0.5m in diameter.

- KD003-030 Excavation - miscellaneous
Description
In 2002, archaeological excavation (Licence No. 02E1089) was carried out on behalf of Westmeath County Council at Moyvalley 2, Co. Kildare, before the construction of the M4 Kinnegad-Enfield-Kilcock Motorway Scheme. The site was previously identified during route testing as three possible pits. Two of the features were natural; the third was a small charcoal-rich pit, roughly circular (diam. c. 1.05m; D 0.07m). It provided a radiocarbon date of cal. AD 670-970 (with the possibility of old wood effect). There was no direct evidence of burning in situ and no associated features. The pit was within the grounds of Ballyna estate, formerly the More O'Farrell estate. The land was originally extensive marsh but had been well drained by a number of post-medieval ditches and drains. No cultural material was associated with the pit.
