An archaeological evaluation was carried out at a site 80m to the north-west of 112 Mountjoy Road, Co. Tyrone, as part of the planning application for a new dwelling. The ruins of Mountjoy Castle (TYR047–002) lie c. 50m to the south-east of the application site. The evaluation consisted of four mechanically excavated test-trenches ranging in length from 36m to 60m. The trenches contained some evidence of agricultural activity but no remains of archaeological significance were uncovered.
