A ‘request for further information’ with respect to the proposed construction of a single apartment block within the Annalee Manor residential estate required that the site be subjected to an Impact Assessment and that such assessment should include a programme of testing. The site is located on the southern extent of Ballyhaise and forms part of a public green space. There are no previously identified archaeological monuments located within, or in the general environs of, the site.
Six trenches were excavated by machine fitted with a toothless ditching/grading bucket. Nothing of archaeological interest or potential was uncovered during the course of testing.
