A series of test-trenches were excavated across the area to be impacted by a proposed housing development in a large greenfield site located to the west of a levelled fulacht fiadh. The stratigraphy recorded in all of the trenches consisted of a greyish-brown silty clay ploughsoil layer, which averaged 0.5m deep, and this overlay a dark-yellowish-brown boulder clay subsoil. There were no archaeological features or finds recorded in any of the trenches opened at this site.
