Test excavations were undertaken to the rear of the Eccles’ Hotel, Glengarrif, in advance of an extension to the hotel. There are no known archaeological sites in the immediate vicinity.
Two test-trenches were opened to the rear of the main hotel building, revealing north–south-oriented limestone bedrock ridges directly under a thin covering of vegetation. The only significant depth of sediment was encountered at the top of the slope and consisted of dark brown humus over a mid-brown natural sediment. No archaeological features or artefacts were found.
