Six test-trenches were machine-excavated along the footprint of a proposed development at Kilgarriff, Clonakilty. Topsoil was removed to a depth of c. 0.35–0.4m. Beneath the topsoil, light mid-brown/orange stony clay occurred throughout with occasional large stones. Evidence for former field boundaries was present in the eastern section of Trench 1 and the mid-section of Trench 2. No finds or features of an archaeological nature were noted.
