Testing was carried out in compliance with a planning condition for enabling works to facilitate the construction of the district centre at Adamstown, Lucan, Co. Dublin. The proposed development lands were in use as a compound for the railway development and, as such, the topsoil had been stripped from some of the area. A bridge has also been constructed across the lands at the western side. There are no known monuments in the development lands for the district centre and cartographic research indicates that the development site was always laid out in open fields.
Eleven test-trenches were excavated across the development site with a 1.8m-wide toothless bucket. The stratigraphy consisted of c. 0.2m of topsoil underlying subsoil on to natural stony marly soils.
Nothing of archaeological significance was recorded during the testing.
