Phase 2 excavations along the 27.2km of the N18 Oranmore to Gort (Glenbrack to Rathmorrissey) National Road Scheme Projects were commissioned by Galway County Council and the National Roads Authority.
The site was located in a field of undulating pasture that slopes gently to the north. Excavations at Drumharsna North did not establish the location of a cashel, semicircular wall or any structures. The site at Drumharsna North consisted of the remains of a substantial field boundary.
