Test excavation was conducted at this site in advance of the proposed N15 Ballybofey–Stranorlar bypass. This site is situated in an area of blanket bog, which was identified in the EIS as an area of archaeological potential (AAP8). Although there were no indications of archaeological remains on the surface, blanket bog conditions are conducive to the preservation of such remains.
Twenty-two trenches were excavated across the site using a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless bucket. Nothing of archaeological significance was found within the limits of the excavation.
