Archaeological test trenching was carried out at Phase C of a proposed residential development at Wattstown, Coleraine, between 29 November and 7 December 2021.

Three pits were uncovered, with one pit containing 56 pieces of struck flint. Lithic analysis has determined that the flint work likely dates to the Bronze Age.
