The site at Main Street, Louth Village, Co. Louth, was subject to archaeological assessment, including test trenching. The site, within the townland of Richard Taaffes Holding, was tested on two occasions, in 2020 and 2022. In 2020, three test trenches (Trenches 1–3) were excavated within the site's south-west and east extent, exposing nothing of archaeological significance (see
Excavations Bulletin 2020:074). In 2022 a single test trench (Trench 4) was excavated along the west boundary of the site. This trench measured 38m in length and 1.8m in width. It was excavated to a natural subsoil of yellow boulder clay and shattered rock exposed at a depth of 0.3m in the south and grey stony marl exposed at a depth of 0.6m in the north.
No features were exposed, and no finds were encountered. The work is now complete.
