An assessment was carried out at the rear of Ratoath Nursing Home before the construction of an extension to the building. The area lies within the zone of archaeological potential of Ratoath, a seignural manor under Hugh de Lacy in the 1180s but likely to be of greater antiquity.
Five test-trenches, 10–21m long, were opened to the rear of the existing buildings. No features of archaeological significance were noted, but some sherds of medieval pottery were recovered from the topsoil during the excavation.
