Pre-development testing was carried out on the site of a proposed dwelling at Beagh, Co. Galway, on 8 May 2007. The development site is located immediately south of the site of a landscape feature associated with the nearby Carolton House. This tree ring was formerly recorded as a monument, but it has been delisted and is not included in the RMP. Testing comprised the excavation of five trenches on the development footprint. The topsoil had an average thickness of 0.35m and overlay orange/brown sandy clay subsoil and gravel. No archaeological material was uncovered.
