One linear test trench measuring 40m in length and 1.8m in width was excavated within the back yard of one of the commercial buildings at The Diamond, Raphoe townparks, Raphoe, County Donegal.
The excavated trench demonstrated that the area has undergone moderate to high levels of previous disturbance, primarily resulting from modern construction or landscaping activities. The widespread presence of redeposited subsoil, construction rubble, and modern material indicates that significant ground alteration has occurred, likely involving machine excavation extending into the natural subsoil.
No features, or deposits of archaeological consequence were observed within the trenches during these investigations.
