Testing was undertaken in advance of the construction of four-storey licenced premises on a small site on Lower Quay, Sligo town. Three test-trenches were opened on the imprint of the new structure, which occupies the entire site. A thin overburden layer extended over the entire site, which directly overlaid a naturally deposited darkyellowish/brown, compact, high silicate clay. No archaeological features/remains were uncovered in the course of testing works.
