Testing was carried out at Barnane, Templemore, Co. Tipperary. The development plans include the demolition of sheds and the construction of a two-storey dwelling, septic tank, percolation area and associated site works. The proposed development lies close to three monument sites. The remains of a medieval church and graveyard, SMR 28:53, is located c. 150m north-west of the development site; 28:54 is a levelled fort located c. 60m west of the site. Another levelled fort (SMR 28:89) is located c. 600m south-east of the development site. Test-trenches were excavated along the length of the access road, in the footprint of the proposed dwelling house and in the area of the percolation tank. Nothing of archaeological significance was recorded during the testing.
