A series of three test-trenches, totalling 48m in length, were excavated on the site of a proposed house and associated services at Lissybroder, Dunmore, due to the presence of a levelled ringfort nearby. No features of archaeological interest were found and a 10m buffer zone was established around the site of the ringfort so that the development could proceed without impacting upon the monument.
