Planning permission was received by O’Growney National School to construct a one-portable classroom (Cabinpac) on the school grounds. Monitoring of removal of topsoil and excavation of foundation trenches was required. Dark-brown topsoil with some modern pottery inclusions was stripped from the area on which the Cabinpac was to be dropped. Five trenches to receive the concrete block footings for the Cabinpac were excavated. Nothing of archaeological significance was exposed.
