Pre-development archaeological evaluation works were undertaken on 25 November 2015 at a proposed development site at St Mary’s School, 70 Arney Road, Bellanaleck, Co. Fermanagh, having been commissioned by Whitemountain Quarries Ltd. The works undertaken are intended to provide additional information for the Department of the Environment Northern Ireland: Historic Environment Division: Historic Monuments Unit (DOENI:HED:HMU) prior to making a Planning Decision under Planning Policy Statement 6: Built Heritage 4 (PPS 6:BH3) in response to a Planning Application for a proposed development comprising the construction of a surfaced car park.
Nine evaluation trenches comprising a total of c.210m of linear trenching were excavated within the boundaries of the proposed development area. On-site evaluation works revealed undisturbed glacial subsoil throughout each of the seven trenches within the area of the proposed car park and a substantial services trench within the two trenches in the area of the existing and proposed access laneway.
No archaeological features, remains or deposits were identified during the evaluation works.
