An assessment incorporating testing was undertaken at a site at Galboley townland, Bullaun, Co. Galway. The proposed development involves the construction of a dwelling-house, wastewater treatment unit and percolation area, detached domestic garage and associated site work. Due to the nature of the site, the existence of field banks in the area and the proximity of the proposed development to a castle (GA097–104), it was recommended that pre-development testing should be undertaken. Testing was undertaken in August 2010 and involved the excavation of three linear trenches (A–C) through the proposed development site. Nothing of archaeological significance was noted.
