An assessment was undertaken at Ballymaquin Upper, Ardfert. The developer had applied to construct two detached dwellings. The proposed site is 22.5m west of a ringfort. Five trenches were opened on the footprint of the proposed development. The topsoil was a rich brown sandy loam, varying in depth from 0.25m to 0.4m, overlying the natural grey sandy clay; pockets of limestone bedrock were visible in the subsoil. No archaeological stratigraphy or artefacts were recorded in any of the cuttings.
