Testing was carried out in advance of the construction of the North Campus Spine Road at Garraun, Clonlara, Co. Clare. The road runs roughly parallel to the River Shannon, where a new bridge is being constructed which will link the main body of the campus of the University of Limerick with lands in Co. Clare. Testing was carried out by excavating a continuous trench along the centre-line of the road with offsets alternating on each side. Thirteen shallow linear features were revealed. Five of these were 19th/20th-century field drains. The remainder were the remains of furrows. A small amount of modern pottery and brick was found in these.
