Test trenching was carried out in the townland of Mersheen, County Wexford. No features or artefacts of archaeological significance were revealed. Some features were encountered which appear to date to the 19th and 20th century. These include the remains of a townland boundary (ditch) revealed in Trench 8 and a trackway revealed in Trench 13, both recorded on the OSI historic maps. Numerous cut features were recorded with inclusions of 20th-century finds and are associated with agricultural activity.
