Testing was undertaken in Roganstown in north County Dublin. The development includes the construction of a new golf-course and a hotel. A cultural heritage report (dated 12 December 2000) identified a linear anomaly on an aerial photograph.
A single trench was excavated to investigate the anomaly on an OS black-and-white aerial photograph taken in 1982. This anomaly was identified as a U-shaped ditch, 2.5m wide and 1m deep. No material of archaeological interest has been recovered from the ditch.
