Archaeological investigation in advance of the N7 Nenagh to Limerick road project at Cooleen took place on 3 and 4 October 2006. A single stake-hole was found, associated with an excavated charcoal-production pit from the Phase 1 testing phase. No artefacts were recovered.

Editor’s note: Although excavated during 2006, the report on this site arrived too late for inclusion in the bulletin of that year.
