Testing was undertaken in advance of a proposed residential development at Julianstown West, Julianstown, Co. Meath. The work, untaken on behalf of Cooney Architects, took place on 24 November 2010. The area of proposed development was located on the northern banks of the River Nanny off the Old Laytown Road. The topography of the site sloped sharply from the north to the River Nanny in the south.
Testing followed on from a geophysical survey (10R126) and a desktop assessment undertaken in September 2010. In total, thirteen trenches were excavated across the development area, several of which targeted a number of geophysical anomalies. Nothing of archaeological significance was identified during the programme of testing.
