Archaeological testing by trial-trenching was carried out on the site of a proposed rock extraction works at Ballycoolen, Dublin, in October 1995. The site is located in an area close to several archaeological sites identified in the SMR for County Dublin.
Four trenches were excavated in total in the vicinity of the area to be disturbed by the proposed extraction works. The area to the west of the site was not tested as the ground here was previously disturbed by quarrying and limestone rock was exposed. Boulder clay and natural rock were exposed in all of the four trenches and it lay quite close to the surface. There were no features uncovered in any of the trenches or finds of great antiquity.
