2025:434 - Carpenterstown Road, Diswellstown, Dublin

Twelve test trenches were fully excavated to natural (Trenches 1–8; Trenches 10–13). The site consisted of a layer of topsoil and landscaped, made ground which overlay a natural of light greyish-yellow clay mixed with stone, which was reached at a depth of 0.21–0.8m. The full length of Trench 9 was not excavated due to the presence of a tarmac surface, but a trial hole (2m x 1.8m) in an accessible area at the north end of the trench indicated the area had been previously stripped to natural, with approximately 0.2m of stone and tarmac overlying c. 0.8m of redeposited natural and greyish clay, likely caused by levelling the ground for the tennis court. Trench 14 was not excavated to natural along its full length due to the depth of the made ground around services associated with the driving range/putting green and water table flooding, with the natural, which was cut by modern drains, observed at 1.2m, which was the maximum depth of excavation that was possible.

No features of archaeological significance were identified, and no artefacts were recovered.
