An archaeological evaluation was carried out at 49 Toberdoney Road, Dervock, Co. Antrim, in response to an application for a proposed new slurry pit. Two souterrains (ANT007–056 and 007–111) are recorded in the vicinity of the site.

A single trench measuring 45m by 16m was mechanically excavated to the surface of the subsoil. Two abraded sherds of undiagnostic coarse pottery were recovered from the topsoil, although no features of archaeological significance were encountered in the evaluation.
