Pre-development testing was carried out on the site of a proposed commercial development at Church Lane, Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo, on 15 March 2006. The site is located in the south-west part of the area of constraint around the historic town. Some nondescript sheds and walls were demolished and a concrete slab removed prior to testing. Testing comprised the excavation of two trenches on the footprint of the proposed development.
