Archaeological testing on the site of a proposed extension to a public house, within the zone of archaeological potential for Galway, entailed the excavation of two trenches. Both were excavated to boulder clay, and nothing of archaeological significance was noted.
Editor’s note: The summary of this excavation, which was carried out during 1999, arrived too late for publication in the bulletin of that year.
Purcell House, Oranmore, Co. Galway
