An evaluation was carried out at a development site located at 40 Tullymore Road, Broughshane, in the townland of Correen. The site runs up to a curving field boundary, which is part of a D-shaped enclosure (ANT033–003). Two trenches were excavated using a mechanical digger equipped with a toothless ‘sheugh’ bucket. Trench 1 measured 2m by 25m. Trench 2 measured 2m by 40m. The trenches were stepped out from the field boundary, so as not to disturb the root systems of any trees and hedges which were located along the boundary. No archaeological features or artefacts were uncovered.
