The owner of the site was required by Kildare County Council to carry out an archaeological assessment as part of a request for further information, prior to construction of a dwelling house with associated works. The development lies in the adjoining field to the south of KD018-024, which is recorded as an enclosure, identified by examination of aerial photographs.

Six trenches were excavated to test the site of the proposed dwelling house, percolation area and driveway. The stratigraphy was consistent throughout the 6 trenches and revealed no archaeological features whatsoever; no artefacts were recovered.
