A test excavation was carried out to assess the archaeological potential of a development site in Castleoaks, Rathnapish, County Carlow. The planned development of 106 residential units is located within 100m of a previously excavated Bronze Age site (05E1359). The test program involved the excavation of eleven test trenches across the site. Two features of potential archaeological significance were uncovered during the course of the excavation: a linear gully and a fire-spot. No datable evidence was recovered.
