The National Roads Authority had planned to build a road over the site. Investigation of the road route led to the discovery of the site. However, the NRA have decided to bypass the site and will therefore have no responsibility for the site in the future.

The NRA reports, based on excavations in April and August 2003, suggest that the site found at Woodstown was a defended, riverside settlement with evidence of industrial activity, most likely dating from the period - 800 to 1000 AD.
