Test excavations were carried out at a proposed development site comprising a single dwelling with associated services at Chapel Lane, Dingle, Co. Kerry. The site lies within the zone of archaeological potential for the medieval town of Dingle.
Two test-trenches forming a T-shaped arrangement were excavated by mini-track machine to the level of undisturbed subsoil. The remaining works were carried out by hand. The total length of trenching was 21m. The topsoil comprised moderately compact dark-brown humic silty clay with frequent root activity and moderate small to medium sub-rounded and sub-angular sandstones throughout. No archaeological features or artefacts were encountered.
