Test-trenching targeted at geophysical anomalies on lands at Clonee, Co. Meath located two burnt stone spreads and associated troughs. Many of the geophysical anomalies proved, on testing, to be either naturally-occurring geological deposits or modern agricultural activity. Metal detection of the test trenches did not locate archaeological artefacts.
