Groundwork associated with the construction of a dwelling-house near the south-western quadrant of a well-preserved drystone cashel was monitored in December 1999. The substratum comprised sterile gravel, grey/brown, silty clay and loose limestone. The stripping of topsoil and the cutting of foundation trenches revealed no trace of material or activity of archaeological origin.
