Archaeological investigation took place in August in advance of the construction of the M8/N8 Cullahill to Cashel road improvement scheme. Prior assessment and centreline test-trenching was carried out in 2005 (Excavations 2005, No. 1388, A027/003). An additional 400m2 area was stripped of topsoil around a feature, a pit resolved during centreline testing. However, no additional archaeological features or artefacts were uncovered.
