An archaeological evaluation was carried out at 76 Causeway Road, Bushmills, Co. Antrim in response to a planning application for a replacement dwelling and detached garage. Dunseverick castle (ANT003-011) lies to the north-west of the site and a holy well is also recorded in the vicinity (ANT003-035). The evaluation consisted of eight mechanically-excavated test trenches which ranged in length from 10m to 20m. No remains of archaeological significance were uncovered during the course of the evaluation.
