An assessment was carried out on the site at Leonardstown, Drumree, in 2007 prior to the construction of a single dwelling and outbuildings. Three trenches were excavated; no material of an archaeological nature was disclosed (Excavations 2007, No. 1348, 07E660. There were two planning applications associated with the development, located in the same field as ME043–043, a field system. The applicants submitted another application in 2009. This necessitated further testing in the areas proposed for the construction of agricultural buildings.
Two trenches were excavated in January 2009 under licence 09E0021; no material of an archaeological nature was disclosed by the trenches.
