Testing was undertaken at a development site at Clonogan, Co. Carlow. 11 trenches were excavated and a series of furrows and a post-medeival field boundary were noted. One trench contained a very large stone-lined circular pit which may be medeival in date. The development site is located close to Clonogan Castle and enclosure CW018-013. The pit will not be impacted upon by the development.
