Test-trenching associated with the Trim Sewerage Scheme was carried out in the vicinity of the site of the Athboy Gate in May 1999. Test-trenches were opened along the Kildalkey Road and the Athboy Road/Haggard Street over a combined length of 50m. Intermittently, some remnants of cobbled road surfaces were encountered, but there was no associated dating evidence, and these may have been quite modern. No evidence of either Athboy Gate or the town wall was found.
