Manual investigations in advance of development at Turnberry Mews, Glebe, Portstewart, recovered a quantity of struck flint (attributed to the later prehistoric period, with the Bronze Age preferred); no features were identified. It is possible that this was due to unsupervised stripping, which had overcut the site by some 0.4m.
