Archaeological works were required in advance of proposed development plans to enlarge Muckamore Abbey Hospital. The proposed development area was topsoil-stripped using a back-acting excavator fitted with a toothless bucket. The topsoil removal revealed no features of archaeological deposits.
Editor’s note: Although this licence was issued during 2004, the report on the work was not received in time for inclusion in the bulletin of that year.
