Archaeological test trenching was carried out at 42–44 Brews Hill, Navan, Co.
Meath. An Archaeological Impact Assessment of the site recommended test excavation of the footprint of the back garden of the property to assess the archaeological potential of the site.
Testing was carried out on 8 August 2022. A total of three test trenches were excavated within the site, each measuring 1m in width, and in total, 90m of linear trenches were excavated to the top of natural subsoil (C3), which consisted of mid-brown sandy clay, gravel and stone. The topsoil (C1 and C2) represented post-medieval/early modern garden soils deposited to the rear of 42–44 Brews Hill. A modern sump or tank (C4) was also representative of modern utilisation of the site.
No finds or features of archaeological significance were identified.
