An Archaeological Impact Assessment including a programme of test-trenching was undertaken as part of a Further Information request by Cork County Council.
The proposed development (private dwelling), is situated on an elevated plot of land (c.0.5h in size) in the townland of Carrigaline West, close to the Ballea Road, Carrigalin,e Co. Cork.
Six test-trenches were mechanically excavated within the proposed development area. No archaeological features or deposits were uncovered. A great deal of infilled building rubble, plastics, and other waste was recorded at the northern end of the site across Trenches 2-5 which was likely dumped during the constructed of the adjacent housing development during the early 2000s.
