Test excavation as part of an assessment took place at Neville’s pub, Fethard-on-Sea, Co. Wexford, on 19 May 2006. Two 19th-century buildings were to be demolished to make way for a new development.
Four trenches were excavated in an open area of the site, which is in the zone of archaeological importance of the medieval village of Fethard-on-Sea. Nothing of archaeological significance was found. Topsoil cover was extremely thin (30–45mm) and consisted of loose fill with 19th- and 20th-century deposits. Any possible archaeology had been removed by the building of the 19th-century houses.
