A programme of test trenching was carried out at Main Street, Saggart, Co. Dublin as part of a pre-planning assessment of the site. The development area is located within the village of Saggart, which has a medieval origin. The settlement is surrounded by a zone of archaeological potential, DU021-034.
Five trenches were excavated across the site during the course of the assessment. These trenches did not uncover anything of archaeological significance but revealed that large areas in the north-east, south-west and west of the site had been subject to relatively modern ground disturbances.
