Pre-development test-trenching was undertaken on 5 February 2010 at a proposed development site at No. 19 Main Street, Eglinton, Co. Derry. A linear ditch, c. 1.6–2.4m wide x 0.65m deep and extending for at least 31.5m in length, running parallel to Main Street, was identified during evaluation works at the site and is likely to represent the remains of a 19th-century field boundary associated with the gardens of the Manor House to the immediate west of the site. No other archaeological features were identified during this phase of evaluation works at the site.
