An extension to a shop near the centre of Roscommon town required five test-trenches. There was a generally solid undisturbed clay layer 0.3–0.4 thick in most sectors, but there were no archaeological features or contexts. Subsequent testing (see No. 1513 below, 07E0590) was carried out adjacent to the east of this site.
Editor’s note: Although this licence was issued in 2006, the report was not received in time for inclusion in the bulletin of that year.
