Archaeological testing took place in advance of a proposed sewage scheme in Castletownsend, Co. Cork.
Test trenching took place in April 2019 and a burnt mound was exposed within the footprint of the pipe. In order to preserve the archaeology in situ a new pipe route was chosen. The line of the new pipe route was tested in May 2019 and no finds or features of archaeological significance were exposed within its route.
