Archaeological assessment took place at Killsallagh, Edgeworthstown, Co. Longford, in advance of a proposed residential development. The site lies within a destroyed ringfort. The area of the driveway, septic tank and house site was stripped, and natural, grey, sandy soil was exposed below sod and ploughsoil in all areas at between 0.3m and 0.6m. All traces of the ringfort seem to have been destroyed.
