In my current game, a Construction Ship from a new alien race popped out a dead end system that I had previously fully surveyed and started building a jump gate on the jump point to that dead end system in Sol. This tells me there is a hidden jump point in that system because there is no way for the ship to have gotten there otherwise.
Is there a way to find the jump point that the gate builder came through, and presumably the Jump Gate it built there? I have already sent my grav survey fleet back into the dead end system and manually resurveyed all 30 survey locations. This did not turn up a jump gate or anything else.
Am I effectively in a position where an alien race to Sol orbit and I can't find where they are coming from?

Sometimes there are dormant jump points that are opened.

In other words, you need to reset the system JP survey, only then will your survey-ships find it. Alternatively, observe the gate constructor ship leaving through the gate once it is finished.
