Test trenching was undertaken in the townlands of Beak and Nemestown, Co. Wexford. No features and/or finds of archaeological significance were encountered in the majority of the trenches (Trenches 1-7 & 9-10), however two areas of archaeological significance were revealed in Trench 8 (697456, 603963). Area 1 is defined by a deposit of burnt stone and clay measuring 4.8m in length and appears to extend beyond the width of the trench (1.8m). Flint debitage was revealed while cleaning back this feature. Area 2 is defined by a layer of stones with mid-brown clay containing charcoal, measuring 3m in length and appears to extend beyond the width of the trench (1.8m).
