An archaeological evaluation was carried out at a site 40m to the south-west of 68 Pharis Road, Pharis, Ballymoney, Co. Antrim in response to a planning application for a farm dwelling and garage. The application site is close to the site of a 19th-century graveyard known as the ‘graveyard field’ (ANT018-071). The evaluation consisted of four mechanically-excavated test trenches 1.5m wide and ranging in length 20-25m. No remains of archaeological significance were uncovered during the course of the evaluation.
