Testing was carried out on 22 July 2005 at a single house site at Lissybroder, Dunmore. The site is located on the western side of the Dunmore–Mountbellew road, c. 1.2km south-east of Dunmore. There is a possible late 17th-century hermitage site (SMR 17:138) located to the west, but no visible surface traces of this site survive and its exact location is unclear.
Five trenches were excavated by machine fitted with a toothless ditching/grading bucket, following which the sides and bases were cleaned by hand. Nothing of archaeological interest was uncovered.
