Test excavations were carried out at a proposed development site at Shelburne Energy Farm, Nash, Co. Wexford.
A total of 90 trenches were excavated, each measuring 1.8m in width. In total, 1,260m of linear trenches were excavated to the natural, which was primarily an orangish-yellow sandy boulder clay, though various colour variations were observed. Seven features of low significance were recorded during the testing and corresponded with modern infilled field boundary ditches or other agricultural-related activity. No features of archaeological significance were exposed, and as a result, the proposed development will have no known archaeological impact.
