Five test-trenches were opened on the imprint of a house site in Curraheen townland, Ahenny. A standing stone, located on a very slight circular mound, survives in the north-west part of the same field as where the proposed house will be sited. No archaeological features or remains were uncovered in any of the test-trenches opened. All of the test-trenches were distinctly sterile.
