An assessment was carried out at a 2.75ha site at St Paul’s NS, Navan, Co. Meath adjacent to ME025-051, listed as an enclosure. The area to the rear of the school currently used as sports grounds was test trenched. Two trenches totalling 160m were excavated within the site. Topsoil was removed to a depth of 0.3-0.6m exposing a yellow brown gravel subsoil—no archaeological features were uncovered.
