Fifteen trial-trenches were excavated at the site of a proposed quarry in Curragh, Ballinasloe. The quarry site was located beside a ringfort and geophysical survey identified a number of areas of archaeological potential. Each area was tested and nothing of archaeological significance was recovered.
