An archaeological assessment of a proposed housing development at Colpe Road, Colp West, Drogheda, Co. Meath was carried out for NewKey Homes. There has been extensive development of the area in the last 25 years and a number of archaeological sites have been discovered as a result, including 3 fulachta fiadh recorded beyond the north-eastern boundary of the site. Three trenches with a total length of 150m were excavated across the site. Subsoil consisted of a mid to light orange brown stony clay. There were no archaeological features or artefacts recorded at the site.
