A pre-planning archaeological assessment including test trenching was completed at the site of a proposed single-storey Parish Centre on the grounds of Trinity Church, Redcross, County Wicklow (WI035-021). A historic graveyard (WI035-021002) is located within the church grounds 25m to the west of the proposed location of the parish centre. The Holy Trinity Church was built in 1829. It is proposed to locate the new Parish Centre within a green area between the church and the school.

A total of seven test trenches were excavated across the site. No finds or features of archaeological significance were exposed.
