This report presents the results of archaeological investigations carried out on behalf of Kildare County Council and the National Roads Authority as part of Archaeological Services Contract 4 prior to the commencement of construction on the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford Scheme: Kilcullen to Powerstown. The work was undertaken under National Monuments Section Registration Number E2618 in the Townland of Ballybar Lower Co. Carlow. The Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, following consultation with the National Museum of Ireland, directed that Liam Hackett of Headland Archaeology (Ireland) Ltd should proceed with archaeological resolution. Contract 3 Pre?Construction Testing under Ministerial Direction number A021/060 on this site in September 2005 identified the presence of burnt mounds at the edge of a nearby stream and various pits, ditches and linear features. Full archaeological resolution was conducted on this site between 1 June and 30 June. This revealed two burnt mounds: one measuring 15 m x 18 m, the other 10 m x 21 m. A small area of possible habitation with in situ hearths, pits and postholes and an area of possible industrial activity with a metalled surface, pits and hearth were also excavated.
