Archaeological testing was carried out in advance of a residential development at Main Street, Rathcoole, Co. Dublin. The proposed development site is located within the Zone of Archaeological Potential for the medieval village of Rathcoole (RMP DU021-030). Six trenches were excavated in the green space to the rear of the Protected Structure (RPS ref. 323). The testing revealed that this area has been subject to significant earlier disturbance indicated by the presence of modern rubbish and the remains of a crushed stone surface. No features, finds or deposits of archaeological significance were identified during the course of test excavation.
