As part of the planning process, an archaeological evaluation was requested by the NIEA to provide data to inform the planning decision with regard to a single-dwelling development. Four test trenches across the site were proposed by NAC and accepted by the NIEA. Nothing of archaeological significance was uncovered in any of the test trenches, and a number of services had previously been dug through this area.
