Testing was undertaken at Rossestown, Thurles, prior to a proposed residential development. An adjacent site is also being included in this assessment although there are no plans for development there at present. Test-trenching commenced at the site on 13 July 2007 using a mechanical excavator with a flat toothless bucket. Seven trenches were investigated across the test area. Nothing of archaeological significance was discovered in any of the excavated trenches.
