This development is located within the seaside village of Strandhill in County Sligo; the site is located at the eastern end of the village on the southern side of Strandhill Road. The overall area of development is c. 0.75ha. There are two archaeological sites in the vicinity, SL014–069, an enclosure located c. 45m south-east of the development boundary, and SL014–068, a ringfort/rath located c. 200m to the east of the development. Seven test-trenches were excavated within the footprint of this development. Stratigraphy was fairly consistent across all seven trenches; topsoil measured 0.2–0.3m in depth and consisted of a mid-brown clay silt overlying a subsoil of orange silty clay. No archaeological finds or features were uncovered during testing on this site.
