Pre-development testing was carried out on 1 March 2019, at the site of the proposed housing development at Dolphin Street, Loughrea, Co. Galway. A single trench, measuring 30m east-west and 1m in width, was excavated to undisturbed natural in places. The stratigraphy was seen to comprise almost entirely of disturbed fills, with three different services cutting through the trench at various levels. Nothing of archaeological significance was discovered during the works.
