Testing was undertaken on behalf of the County Dublin Vocational Educational Committee on a site that is near the primary school on Castle Road, Lucan, Co. Dublin, prior to the construction of a proposed school. Testing took place on 6 and 7 December 2004 using a twenty-tonne tracked machine equipped with a flat, toothless bucket. Eight trenches were excavated within the area of proposed development.
None of the test-trenches identified any material of archaeological significance. The area in the west part of the site, nearest to a church and graveyard (SMR 17:22), appears to have been heavily disturbed in the recent past and it is known that a number of sewers run through this area.
