Testing was carried out at Philpotstown, Garlow Cross, Co. Meath. The development plans comprise a proposed waste facility located beside a series of sheds and outhouses, to include the construction of a concrete pad where waste material will be sorted prior to distribution. Excavation of a series of test-pits was carried out on 19 December. The area proposed for building was an area used for landfill, which comprised mainly hardcore and building rubble. Nothing of archaeological significance was recorded during testing.
