It is proposed to construct a hotel on the south side of a large field that is bounded by the N3 on the south, the Johnstown/Athlumney link road along the west and by farmland on the north and east sides, at Kilcarn, Navan. The field is located on a rise overlooking the River Boyne. Old Kilcarn bridge (SMR 25:39) is located to the west of the site. Eleven trenches were excavated to test the site, ranging in length between 20 and 130m. They revealed evidence for dumping of modern material in locations all over the field, to a maximum depth of 1.2m. No archaeological material was exposed and no artefacts were recovered.
