Test-trenching and subsequent monitoring were undertaken before the construction of a roundabout and distributor road at Kilbane. The development was near a holy well and a possible burial-ground. The trenching revealed a fairly uniform stratigraphy of topsoil, 0.4–0.6m deep, overlying the natural, grey/brown, clay subsoil. Nothing of an archaeological nature was noted.
