An archaeological evaluation was undertaken prior to the proposed construction of a dry fermentation plant at lands adjacent to 60 Tandragee Road, Newry, Co Down. One recorded site, DOW 046:025, is located within the proposed development site and is identified as an AP cropmark in the SMR.
4 test trenches across the footprint of the proposed development were excavated using a back-acting machine fitted with a toothless bucket. Trenches 1 and 2 were stopped slightly shorter than originally planned due to the presence of a quarry pit at their north-western ends.
No evidence of any archaeological deposits was identified during the course of the evaluation.
