Monitoring of groundworks associated with the construction of a dwelling-house, garage and effluent treatment system at Kilbarron townland, Co. Donegal, was carried out on 22 July 2003. The development was located within the constraint for a bullaun stone (SMR 103:48).
The excavation works consisted of the stripping of the entrance, driveway, dwelling-house, garage and the excavation for the septic tank and percolation area. The stratigraphy encountered was topsoil, above friable–loose loamy sand, firm clay loam and bedrock. A number of modern pottery sherds were recovered from the topsoil. The excavation revealed natural undisturbed subsoils and bedrock below the topsoil.
