Investigations were carried out along the route of the proposed Kildare Bypass at three suspected sites. Two, lying south of the N7 road in the Lackagh More townland, were thought to be the crannog observed by Vigours in the nineteenth century. However, investigation of the two mounds lying within the proposed motorway route revealed no archaeological features.
The third site, lying south of Cherryville Junction, was a flat-topped rectangular mound. Trenching on this site did not reveal any archaeological features and showed that the mound was naturally formed.
