Testing of a proposed housing development at Skaghardgannon, Doneraile, Co. Cork, was undertaken as part of a pre-planning assessment. The site of a levelled ringfort (CO017–090) is located within the development area. Testing revealed the subsurface limits of the ringfort and a number of other features associated with modern agricultural practices. The establishment of a 30m buffer zone around the monument was recommended.
