The monitoring programme constituted the latest phase of investigation at the site following the discovery of human remains by Avril Purcell during topsoil-stripping in 1999 (Excavations 1999, No. 246, 99E0108). Several assessments were undertaken to identify the extent of the cemetery, which has been preserved under a large landscaped mound and by a buffer zone. This current phase had previously been subject to some limited ground reduction supervised by Avril Purcell (Excavations 2000, No. 299, 00E0267). The current phase confirmed the natural clay horizon. No archaeological features or artefacts were identified.
