An evaluation was carried out at the site of a proposed housing development located at Magherahar, Co. Fermanagh, adjacent to the site of the base of a stone cross (FER191–034) which may be associated with a larger church site. Five trenches were excavated using a mechanical digger equipped with a toothless ‘sheugh’ bucket. Trenches 1–4 measured 2m by 20m; Trench 5 measured 2m by 30m. After evaluating an area of c. 220m2, no archaeological features or artefacts were uncovered. It would therefore seem probable that there are no significant archaeological features or artefacts on the development site.
