This site was evaluated via the excavation of six trenches, after the demolition of Nos 121 and 123 Main Street, Bushmills. Several features were uncovered: a series of walls associated with a mid- 19th-century building that had previously stood on the site, a substantial cobbled surface dating to the mid-19th century and a two-roomed stone structure that has been interpreted as an outbuilding associated with 121 Main Street, Bushmills. Nothing of archaeological interest was uncovered.
