A programme of archaeological assessment and testing was carried out at Milltown, Mullans and Donegal town in May 2007. The proposed development entailed the construction of a mixed-use town centre development. The development was close to the historic centre of Donegal and so a pre-development assessment of the scheme was recommended. Initially the programme of testing had envisaged the excavation of eighteen test-trenches throughout the site. Owing to restrictions caused by the presence of services and existing buildings, only sixteen trenches were excavated. No archaeological deposits or features were recorded during testing.
