Testing was undertaken as part of Contract 1 of the N6 Galway–Ballinasloe road scheme (Phase 1 testing). The site was identified during the EIS as a possible dish-barrow. The feature measured 15m by 15m and 20m2 of hand-dug trenches were excavated across it. Nothing of an archaeological nature was uncovered during the testing. No further work is proposed at the site.
The work was commissioned by the Galway County Council National Roads Design Office and sponsored by the National Roads Authority. RPS-MCOS Ltd acted as principal consultants for the scheme.
