This report, prepared on behalf of Donegal County Council, has been undertaken to describe the results of archaeological resolution carried out in advance of the proposed N15 Bundoran to Ballyshannon Bypass in the townland of Coolcholly, Co. Donegal. Archaeological fieldwork was directed by Brian O Donnchadha of Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd. (IAC Ltd.), Licence no. 04E0011. Linear testing (Licence Ref. 03E1012) was carried out by Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd along the route of the proposed scheme in summer 2003. Coolcholly 1 was identified as a possible worked timber within an area of bogland, Test Area 15, during the testing exercise. This feature was recorded in situ during the Stage 1 test excavation programme. Topsoil stripping of the area took place on 5th February 2004 with 1 site supervisor. A 15m x 15m area was stripped of topsoil by a track machine equipped with a flat toothless bucket. After initial bulk stripping the area of excavation was hand cleaned in order to identify potential archaeological remains. Excavation revealed nothing of archaeological significance. It was clear that the timber uncovered in testing was a piece of naturally occurring bog timber. As a result it was recommended that no further archaeological work would be required on site.
