An assessment of two portions of the site was undertaken before development commenced. Zones B and C are located at the northern and north-western side of the Mahon Link Road and Zone D at the southern side of the Mahon Link Road. Eleven trenches were mechanically excavated in Zones B and C and eight were excavated in Zone D. No features of archaeological significance were revealed in Zone D.
