A ‘request for further information’ for the construction of a 40-unit residential development at Drumalt, Arvagh, required that the site be subject to testing. The site is located on the north-eastern extent of Arvagh and is presently under pasture. There are no previously identified monuments located within, or in the general environs of the site.

Ten trenches were excavated by machine fitted with a toothless ditching/grading bucket. Nothing of archaeological interest was uncovered during the course of testing.
