A non-disturbance archaeological assessment took place of a 20m area of lakebed and a 150m stretch of waterway, prior to the construction of a proposed marina and associated dredging activity. The site is located immediately south of Lough Eidin (Drumharlow Lough), Drumharlow. Systematic visual inspection and magnetometer survey of the lakebed and waterway impact areas did not reveal any archaeologically significant material/features.
