The following report describes the results of an archaeological excavation at Killarainy 3 (Registration No.: E4577 and under Ministerial Directions A067), which was located along the route of the N59 Moycullen Bypass, Co. Galway. The site at Killarainy 3 was discovered during advance archaeological testing undertaken in 2014 by IAC Ltd ((Ryan 2014; Registration No.: E4512). Stage (iii) excavation work at Killarainy 3 was undertaken from the 8 October to 6 November 2014. Killarainy 3 was a large burnt mound situated at the interface between a pasture field and wetland. Although quite large, no significant trough or features were identified. One circular pit was excavated to the west of the mound. The site was dated to the Late Bronze Age period. Although defined on the north, west and east the mound ran outside the lands acquired for the new road and beyond the fence line. It is possible that a trough or pits is located in this area.
