This site was located at Freemanstown/Tobergill, Co. Antrim, on the site of a proposed single-house development, close to the Neolithic occupation site at Donegore Hill and a ring-ditch. Four test-trenches, each measuring 2m by 40m, were excavated on the main development site, with a further trench, measuring 2m by 70m, excavated along the access route. The trenches were excavated using a mechanical digger equipped with a toothless ‘sheugh’ bucket. No archaeological features or artefacts were uncovered.
