Pre-construction testing was carried out at Main Street, Kilbeggan, in August 2001, prior to the construction of a residential extension to the rear of the Ramble Inn pub. The site was in the zone of archaeological potential associated with the town.
Three test-trenches were mechanically opened. No archaeological deposits or features were encountered. All deposits recorded were of recent date and it was supposed that the site had been disturbed in recent times. Plastic objects were found in the third test-trench on top of the boulder clay, 0.9m below ground level.
