An archaeological evaluation was carried out at a site 130m west of 22 Fort Road, Tullyrusk, Glenavy, Co. Antrim in response to a planning application for a new dwelling and garage. The site is immediately adjacent to Tullyrusk Fort (ANT059-042). Five test trenches were opened by a mechanical excavator under supervision. The trenches were each 1.6m wide and 30-35m long. No finds or features of archaeological interest were uncovered during the evaluation.
