An environmental impact statement was undertaken of the area of the proposed widening and realignment of the N4 to the east of Mullingar. Two levelled earthwork sites are to the immediate north and south of the construction corridor. Four test-trenches were excavated in the area of the construction corridor between the levelled archaeological sites. No archaeological stratigraphy was recorded, and no artefacts were recovered in any of the trenches.
