This summary details the results of archaeological test trenching carried out at Coolvin, Tang, Ballymahon, Co.
Westmeath (ITM 614121, 752700, 744800).
The site at Coolvin, Tang, Ballymahon, Co. Westmeath was archaeologically assessed by test trenching, which
was carried out by Deirdre Murphy under licence 23E0010. The assessment involved the excavation of eight
test trenches within the site, each measuring 1.8m in width, with a total of 123m of linear trenches excavated to
a depth of between 0.3m and 0.51m. The test trenches were excavated down to the natural subsoil, which
comprised an orange sandy clay and decayed stone. No archaeological features or deposits were identified
within the excavated trenches and no artefacts were recovered. The work is now complete, and no further
mitigation is necessary.
