A programme of archaeological excavations was undertaken as part of the N4 Dromod Roosky bypass at the request of Leitrim County Council. In total, 25 potential archaeological sites were identified during centreline testing as part of the advance archaeological investigation (see No. 1214 below, 05E0983).
A reassessment of Cloonturk 3 revealed the site to be a modern field drain that had filled up with cut scrub and floods in wet weather. The drain is visible on the first-edition 6-inch OS map.
