Test excavation on ground adjacent to the 19th-century Richmond Mills was undertaken as a result of a request for additional information for a planning application for a residential development. The site is adjacent to the medieval church of Clondara, also known as ‘the Abbey’. Extensive test-trenching of the site failed to uncover any deposits of archaeological interest.
