Test trenching involved the mechanical excavation of 263.49 linear meters of trenches. The test trenches were positioned to assess the area generally, while avoiding an overhead medium voltage powerline that traverses the site and an underground medium voltage powerline close to the western boundary.
Two shallow features were investigated. It is likely, given their nature, extent and location, that these features are contemporary to modern drainage features. They are not considered to be of any archaeological significance.
The results of the investigations have indicated that no sub-surface archaeological remains are present within the areas tested as part of the footprint of the proposed development at Tyrrelstown, Dublin 15.
