An archaeological evaluation was carried out prior to the proposed construction of 10 self-catering holiday retreat cottages at the lands to the rear of 206 Straid Road, Bushmills, Co. Antrim.
The evaluation consisted of the mechanical excavation of 6 test trenches across the area of the proposed development site. Test trench 7 had to be omitted due to its location within the existing access to the site. This access needed to be retained and there was not sufficient room to insert the trench without removing trees. All trenches were excavated using a back-acting machine fitted with a toothless bucket.
No archaeological deposits were identified during the evaluation.
