A possible early field wall and the greenfield area of the N59 Newport to Mallaranny road realignment scheme were tested in advance of this scheme, from 1to 9 March 2011. Two trenches were excavated by hand across the affected section of the field wall, but no significant subsurface remains were identified. A programme of testing of the greenfield area of the scheme was carried out using a mechanical digger with a toothless bucket. Nothing of archaeological significance was uncovered.
