Testing was undertaken on this site before its development as a surface carpark for the adjacent Roman Catholic church. The site lies near the medieval parish church to the south. Redeposited disarticulated human bone was found at 0.3m below the sod cover in three of the trenches opened in the southern half of the site. In agreement with Dúchas, the maximum depth of soil-stripping for the surface carpark was raised to 0.2m to avoid this layer. A protective layer of terram was placed between the surface of the carpark and the underlying layer. No further archaeological evidence was uncovered during soil-stripping on this site.
