A programme of test trenching was undertaken within the site of a proposed warehouse/logistics unit located at Merryfalls, Co. Dublin in response to planning conditions attached to the proposed development by Fingal County Council (Planning Ref.: F16A/0439). There are no recorded monuments within the proposed development area although a ringfort was identified during geophysical survey in 2010 (DU014-123) c. 40m to south-south-west. Testing was carried out between 5 and 7 April 2017 involving the excavation of 10 trenches measuring 1,145 linear metres. No archaeological objects or deposits were identified during the course of test trenching.
