Date of upload: 22 September 2008 Excavation licence number 01E1139 Testing took place in the area of a proposed pumping station at Ardeelan Lower, Rossnowlagh, which was to be constructed close to a ringfort. The works are associated with the proposed Sewerage and Sewerage Disposal Scheme at Rossnowlagh, Co. Donegal. A trench (1m by 8m) was mechanically excavated to a depth of 0.4m in the vicinity of the proposed pumping station.
