Test excavation before the construction of a housing development was carried out in the townland of Adamstown, adjacent to the Newcastle Road, west Dublin. The greenfield site measured c. 200m by 200m. Testing was required because of the proximity of the site to that of Adamstown Castle, SMR 17:29. Seven trenches, 30–50m long, were excavated by mechanical digger. In no trench were finds, features or structures of archaeological significance uncovered.
