Work on the site of a small housing development in Knocklyon was monitored because it adjoined Knocklyon Castle, a late medieval structure restored in the early 19th century and still inhabited. Nothing was found except a layer of recent refuse overlying natural gravel. The area was the site of a hill, apparently that which gave Knocklyon its name, which was levelled in the late 18th or early 19th century to provide gravel for road building. Any earlier remains would have been destroyed at that time.
