2009:710 - MOYVANNAN, Roscommon

Testing was undertaken at the site of a proposed single-house development during October 2009. According to the files of the ASI, there is a local tradition of a church site (RO048–04101) located within, or in the immediate environs of, the development site, for which there is no cartographic evidence. The field surface originally included a number of boulders and flagstones, all of which were removed during field-clearance works during the mid-20th century. A beehive quern (RO048–04102) and a stone basin (RO048–04103) were recovered during such clearance works.

A total of fourteen trenches of varying lengths and orientations were excavated within the boundaries of the development area and nothing of archaeological interest was uncovered.
