• WX007-076001 Field system
  Description

  This site was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. The seventeen sites identified are situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill, and are contained within the elements of the field system. Elements of a co-axial field system were recorded as two parallel ditches running E-W separated by a berm (Wth 2m) that was probably on the site of a field bank. The N ditch was discontinued (L c. 20m) at one point to avoid the ring-ditch (WX007-076009-). A contemporary ditch extends from the S parallel ditch while another NW-SE ditch ends 6m short of the double-ditches on the N side. All the ditch features extend beyond the excavated area. Prehistoric pottery has been recovered from the ditches. (Stevens 2008a, 393; 2008, 46-8) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 March, 2012

• WX007-076002 Ring-ditch
  Description

  This site was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill. This is ring-ditch F in area A, a circular area (int. diam. 3.5m; ext. diam. 5.35m) defined by a penannular ditch (Wth c. 0.9m; D c. 0.25m) interupted (Wth c. 2m) at the NW, but the gap is occupied by a pit (diam. 1.2m; D 0.1m) that contained a cremation. Two chared planks and cremeated bone were in the ditch together with lithics and a glass bead. Flat cemetery (WX007-076003-) is c. 8m to the ESE.

• WX007-076003 Flat cemetery
  Description

  This site was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill. This is structure G in area A, a subrectangular concentration (dims c. 6m x c. 5m) of seven cremation pits (diam. c. 0.5m; D c. 0.2m) concentrated at the centre, surrounded by 19 post-holes, two pits and 21 stake-holes. The features were sealed with redeposited clay and charcoal-rich clays. Some outlying cremation pits produced lithics and some pottery. Lines of pits, sometimes doubled form the edges of the cemetery, with a slot-trench at the SW. Ring-ditch (WX076002-) is c. 8m to the WNW, and the pit-alignment (WX007-076006-) is c. 8m to the S.

• WX007-076004 Ring-ditch
  Description

  This site was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill. This is ring-ditdh I in area A, a circular area (int. diam. 7m; ext. diam. 8-9m) defined by a penannular ditch (Wth 0.6-0.9m; D 0.25) with openings at W (Wth 3.6m) and N (Wth 1.85m). The ditch contained 169 quartz and flint artefacts, small quantites of cremated bone, and a single sherd of pottery. The ditch at E cuts a cremation pit of structure (WX007-076005-) and marked it with a post, indicating that it post-dates it.

• WX007-076005 Structure
  Description

  This site was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill. This is structure H in area A, a rectangular area (dims c. 10m N-S; c. 7m E-W) between ring-ditch (WX007-076004-) to the W and structure (WX007-076006-) immediately to the E, and it might be interpreted as activity in the space between them. It consists mostly of stake-holes but two cremation pits and several post-holes are included. It produces no discernible pattern, although it may have been bounded on the E by a curving gully (C 5m; Wth 0.3m). It produced one crushed prehistoric pottery vessel.

• WX007-076006 Pit alignment
  Description

  This site was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill. This is Structure J in area A, where three parallel lines of pits are roughly aligned WNW-ESE. The N line consists of eight large but shallow pits extending from N of ring-ditch (WX007-076004-) to beyond the excavated area at E (L 16m plus). The S row (L 6m plus) has smaller pits and had some associated lithics and pottery, while the central row was shorter and equidistant from the other two. The flat cemetery (WX007-076003-) is c. 8m to the N. (Stevens 2008a, 392; 2008, 17-19) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 March, 2012

• WX007-076007 Standing stone
  Description

  This site was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill. This is at the extreme NW part of the excavated area. A feldspathic tuff stone with a rectangular cross-section (dims. c. 0.75m x c. 0.5m; H 1m) was excavated and found to have been prised from an underlying glacial erratic and wedged upright with waste from a dressing with iron tools.

• WX007-076008 Ring-ditch
  Description

  This site was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill. This is ring-ditch A in area B, a circular area (int. diam. 9.3-9.45m; ext. diam. 10.45-10.8m) defined by a narrow ditch with no opening. It was filled with silty layers that produced some charcoal and a few lithics but no pottery or cremated remains. Ring-ditch (WX007-076009-) is just to the SW and ring-ditch (WX007-076010-) is immediately to the W. (Stevens 2008a, 392; 2008, 34) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 Marche, 2012

• WX007-076009 Ring-ditch
  Description

  This site was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill. This is Structure B in area B, a subcirular area (int. diam. 6.95-7.4m; ext. diam. 8.45-9.1m) defined by an annular ditch (Wth 0.5m; max. D 0.45m). The fill of the ditch was largely sterile, apart from the uppermost which produced some coarse pottery and 27 lithics. There was one internal cremation pit (dims 0.44m x 0.36m; D 0.24m), which was inside the perimeter at SE. Ring-ditch (WX007-076008-) is just to the NE, and ring-ditch (WX007-076010-) is immediately to the N. The N ditch of the double-ditched field boundary in the field system (WX007-076001-) showed an awareness of this monument by terminating well away from it, but the S drain of this feature is immediately to the S.

• WX007-076010 Ring-ditch
  Description

  This site was excavated (E3502) during 2005 as a part of a complex area know as Site 42-44 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. An extensive area (dims. 250m N-S 48-60m E-W) across the road-take was excavated, but geophysical survey indicates that activity extended outside this to the E, W and SW. Situated on the lower NW-facing slope of Ask Hill. This is ring-ditch C in area B. It is a circular area (int. diam. 5.5-5.6m; ext. diam. 6.8-7m) defined by a ditch with a U-shaped profile (Wth c. 0.6m; D c. 0.45m). The ditch had seven fills and produced 40 pieces of struck stone and two fragments of pottery, but no cremated remains were recoverd. Ring-ditch (WX007-076008-) is c. 4m to the E and ring-ditch (WX007-076009-) is c. 2m to the S. (Stevens 2008a, 392; 2008, 36-7) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 March, 2012
