Test trenching was carried out in advance of a nursing home extension. The site is partially located on top of ringfort GA084-027, which is also truncated by a road. A single test trench was excavated and this revealed that, despite severe truncation, the base of the ditch of the ringfort survives within the development site. Full excavation is recommended.
