Archaeological testing was conducted by Eachtra Archaeological Projects along the proposed route of the N25 realignment from Rathsillagh to Harristown, Co. Wexford. The proposed routeway was stripped by machine (under monitoring licence 00E0379) and a complex of features and spreads was revealed within the 50 m wide road take during topsoil stripping. The site was excavated under excavation licence number 00E0623 and it comprised a total of eight features, located in two areas approximately 15 m apart but clearly relating to the same activity. One feature represented recent agricultural disturbance. Of the seven remaining features, five contained traces of burnt bone with charcoal, suggesting the presence of cremation deposits. A large spread of burnt material was also observed, lying in a shallow cut. This site lay approximately 240 m east of the Iron Age hearth site excavated under licence number 00E0624. THE GRID REFERENCES PROVIDED IN THE FINAL REPORT PROVED INCORRECT. THE CORRECT GRID REFERENCES ARE INCLUDED IN THE METADATA.
