The proposed development site is located c. 3.8km north-west of Millstreet, Co. Cork in the townland of Coolykeerane. Testing of a proposed development site was undertaken at the request of the client. The report was submitted to the local authority with the planning application for the proposed development. This consists of the construction of a private dwelling house on a green field site. One recorded monument (CO038-021001 and 002 Ringfort and Souterrain) is located approximately 40m to the south-east of the southern development site boundary.
A number of sub-surface linear features were uncovered within the development footprint which will be directly impacted upon by ground works associated with the construction stage of the project. The date of these features is unknown, however, a relatively recent agricultural function may be suggested although cannot be stated with certainty.
