Excavation of six possible archaeological features was undertaken between 3 and 7 June 2002 as part of the N11, Ballynabarney-Newtownmountkennedy realignment scheme. Investigations have shown that five features are not of archaeological significance. Two of these were agricultural furrows and three were natural soil variations. The remaining feature, a large charcoal-rich pit, appears to be archaeological and to have resulted from a single firing.

Editor's note: Though carried out in 2002, this summary was received too late for inclusion in the bulletin of that year.
