Test excavations were carried out on the site of a proposed new train station at Garraun South, Oranmore, in August 2011. The proposed development consists of a platform, telecoms building, car park and access road. The proposed access road passes within 30m of GA095-044 (Megalithic structure, possible). Sixteen test trenches were opened on the footprint of the proposed access road and car park. No archaeological material was uncovered.
