The development involves topsoil removal and excavation to extend an access road, both north and south, in an area approximately 400m2, for industrial or business units. This report represents Stage 2 of the development of this complex, comprising earth-moving for a northern extension to the access road from the east, terminating in a roundabout for turning vehicles and a southern extension, passing Athlumney House.
The site lies some 350m south-east of a souterrain complex excavated by Carleton Jones (Excavations 1999, 240–1, 98E0596), where the remains of at least three stone-built souterrains were revealed.
Monitoring of groundworks for this stage of development did not reveal any features or finds of archaeological significance.
