A programme of archaeological test trenching was carried out in the townlands of Culcommon and Ballymaglassan, Co. Meath. The test excavation was undertaken on 23 March 2021 using an excavator with an attached grading bucket.
A total of three test trenches were excavated across the area of a development, each measuring 1.6m in width. In total, 150m of linear trenches were excavated. In general, the trenches revealed topsoil (0.25–0.3m) overlying a variable natural light yellow/brown sandy clay with occasional patches of a dark brown gravel. These test trenches were excavated in the townland of Ballymaglassan.
This investigation exposed no features of archaeological significance and no finds were recovered.
