An area identified as a possible prehistoric habitation was revealed during topsoil-stripping carried out on the second contract of the Airport–Balbriggan Bypass. The site was excavated, and a series of criss-crossing modern field drains was identified. The site was deemed to be of no archaeological significance.
Editor’s note: Though carried out in 2001, this excavation was not reported on in time for inclusion in the bulletin of that year.
