Testing of a proposed development site at Fornaght, Donoughmore, Co. Cork, was undertaken as part of a pre-planning impact assessment. The development consisted of the construction of a private house and associated services within the constraint zone for a ringfort (CO061–058). Three test-trenches were excavated on the proposed development site. No archaeological finds or features were uncovered during testing.
