A centreline test-trench was excavated along the proposed route of the Midleton Northern Relief Road, for a total distance of 1.15km. A total of 76 offsets, 10m long, were excavated at right angles to the centreline every 20m. The stratigraphy on the site consisted of mid-brown stony topsoil, 0.4–0.7m deep, over orange gravelly subsoil. A linear feature with topsoil fill, 1.6m wide by 0.5m deep, was noted in a field in the townland of Knockgriffin. No other archaeological finds or features were noted during testing. It is proposed to monitor the next phase of the development.
