Further pre-development testing was carried out on the site of a proposed SUDS area for future housing development at Corballis, Donabate, Co. Dublin. The remainder of the site was previously tested under licence 17E0630. Thirteen test-trenches were excavated to investigate the general potential of the site as well as a portion of the site adjacent to DU012-019 (Earthwork) that had undergone a geophysical survey (17R0170). A single area of archaeology was identified, a spread of burnt mound material/fulacht fiadh in Trench 7 measuring 11m north-east/south-west x 6m with a depth of 0.1m. The site has been preserved in situ.
