Pre-development testing was carried out by Eoghan Kieran of Moore Archaeological & Environmental Services under licence No. 07E0381 at Revlin, Donegal town. The subject area does not contain any known monuments; however, it was located to the south-east of DG093–012---- and to the north-west of DG093–014---- and DG093–015----, classified as enclosures. Testing took place over five days between 14 and 20 June 2007. Each individual field had a minimum of two trenches excavated through it. Testing exposed a generally uniform stratigraphy consisting of sod and topsoil overlying natural boulder clay on the dryer, more elevated ground and mossy grass and rushes overlying marly clay and peat in the more low-lying ground. Testing exposed one site of archaeological potential to the west of the subject area. This feature, found opposite the Tír Connaill GAA grounds, consisted of an anomalous spread of heat-fractured stones in a charcoal-rich matrix. The site is situated in low-lying marshy ground and its situation and composition would identify it as a possible Bronze Age fulacht fiadh (Bennett 2010, 81). Compiled by Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 18 November 2011 Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12). ## Architectural heritage (National Inventory of Architectural Heritage) - Revlin House, house, 1850–1881, Regional interest, registry number 40843001, https://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=DG®no=40843001.
