Testing took place adjacent to the site of Ahamore or Darrynane Abbey, SMR 106:77, and within the zone of potential for the site, following negotiations with the Office of Public Works and the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government regarding an extension to the burial ground at the site.
The area of the proposed extension was 30m2 and six test-trenches were opened within this area. Two of the trenches were 30m in length, crossing the test area from north to south and east to west, while four other 10m trenches were opened in the four quadrants created by the main trenches. Nothing of archaeological significance was recorded.
