Testing took place in relation to an application to construct a dwelling house at this site at Riverstown, near Kilmessan, Co. Meath. The site lies to the west of the Hill of Tara with its associated monuments; a ‘possible barrow’ (SMR 31:40) is located two fields to the east of the development. The proposed development is located in the field immediately east of a linear earthwork. Several trenches tested the development area. No archaeological features were observed and no artefacts were recovered.
