2012:171 - CRANFIELD, Down

An archaeological evaluation was carried out at a site 100m north-east of 62 Cranfield Road, Cranfield, Kilkeel, Co. Down in response to a planning application for a replacement dwelling. There is a scheduled mound (DOW057-008) in an adjacent field to the south-west of the application site. The evaluation consisted of five mechanically-excavated test trenches, each 1.5m wide and 30m long. Two linear features were uncovered during the course of the evaluation. As it was not possible to ascertain the nature and date of these features it is recommended that further fieldwork is carried out prior to the construction of the replacement dwelling.
