Twelve test-trenches were excavated in the vicinity of a ringfort as part of a pre-development assessment of a potential factory site. The trenches were opened across a number of potential archaeological features identified during a geophysical investigation of the site. Two previously unrecorded archaeological sites were identified during the course of this testing. These appeared to be the remains of a keyhole-shaped kiln, located c. 10m to the west of the ringfort, and a levelled fulacht fiadh, located c. 20m to the north-west of the ringfort. Both of these sites were recorded and left in situ. A full excavation of these sites was recommended prior to commencement of any construction project in the area to the west of the ringfort.
