An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at a proposed development site at Main Street, Kill, Co. Kildare, on 31 July 1999. The site is within the boundaries of the urban area of archaeological potential for Kill and to the immediate east of the site of the medieval parish church.
Six trenches were mechanically excavated within the confines of the site. No features or structures of archaeological interest were uncovered.
Two sherds of probable medieval pottery were recovered from the disturbed topsoil, and it was recommended that no further archaeological involvement at the site was required.
