Owners of this property applied for planning permission to construct a dwelling-house, garage and stable block on a site overlooking the River Boyne, 500m west of Bective Abbey and c. 150m to the south-east of ME031–025 (ringfort). An assessment was carried out prior to the application, the results of which accompanied the application.
Six trenches tested the footprint of the house, the garage and the stable block. Nothing of archaeological significance was found in any of the trenches and no artefacts were recovered.
