Nine test-trenches were opened on a greenfield site on the outskirts of Sligo town. The pre-construction testing works were carried out in advance of construction of student accommodation for a nearby third-level educational institution.

Testing revealed no archaeological remains. The area under investigation had been primarily used as pasture and, with the exception of modern field boundaries, a modern lime extraction pit and abandoned farm buildings, it had not been utilised for any other purposes.
