An archaeological evaluation was carried out at a site adjacent to 40 Ballyclare Road, Ballycushan, Templepatrick, Co. Antrim, as part of planning regulations associated with the construction of a farm dwelling. The development site lies in close proximity to a barrow (ANT051-010). Five mechanically excavated trenches, 30m long and 2m wide, were positioned across the proposed development site. Nothing of archaeological significance was found.
