An evaluation was carried out at the site of proposed housing development located at Corbally, Co. Antrim, close to a cropmark known from aerial photographs (ANT055–140). Three trenches were excavated using a mechanical digger equipped with a toothless ‘sheugh’ bucket. Each trench measured 2m wide by 30m long. After evaluating an area of c. 180m2, no archaeological features or artefacts were uncovered. It would therefore seem probable that there are no significant archaeological features or artefacts on the development site.
