Monitoring was carried out during the construction of a dwelling-house with garage, septic tank and driveway. The site is in the townland of Teltown, some 800m south-south-east of Rath Dhu (SMR 17:21).
The site lies on locally flat ground with a very gradual slope down to the Boyne. There is a slight slope down from north to south within the site.
Sod and topsoil was reduced by 0.2–0.3m for the house and driveway, and at the back of the house at the location of the septic tank and percolation area. A very fine yellow clay was exposed; this was consistent all over the site. Nothing of archaeological significance was exposed.
