An excavation was carried out in October 2006 in advance of the proposed M8/N8 Cullahill to Cashel road improvement scheme. Prior assessment and centreline testing of the proposed route in 2005 (Excavations 2005, No. 1388, A027/011) revealed a single possible post-hole. As part of the resolution contract an area of 400m2 was investigated around the site of the post-hole. However, excavation revealed no further archaeological features.
