Testing was undertaken on the site of a proposed retail development at The Square, Kilcock, Co. Kildare on 24 January 2014. The site is in the vicinity of a late medieval church (KD005-002002-) and graveyard (KD005-002004-)
Three test trenches were excavated on the site. Some dis-articulated bone, thought to be human, was uncovered in one of the trenches (T1) closest to the adjacent graveyard. Test trenches excavated beyond this area produced nothing of archaeological significance. Further archaeological works have been recommended.
