Monitoring of ground reduction associated with re-landscaping of the Ballinascorney Golf Club course was undertaken in June 2002 along the eastern border of Ballymaice townland, where it borders Ballinascorney Lower. The development site lies in the shadow of the Dublin Mountains, in an area dotted with prehistoric remains: ring-barrows, megalithic passage tombs, standing stones, cairns etc. No known monuments exist in the townland of Ballymaice. The site was on the eastern side of a very steep natural gradient, the top of which had already been developed to form the third green of the existing Dublin City Golf Club course. Much of the hillside is covered with deciduous woodland. No archaeology was unearthed anywhere on the site.
