The proposed development site is located in the townland of Gortybrigane, Chainage 800, c. 1km to the south-east of the town of Birdhill. The site lies c. 1km to the north-west of a zone of archaeological potential for a fulacht fiadh (possible), TN031–007. Ten trenches were excavated on the proposed development site.
