Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd. (IAC Ltd.), funded by Louth County Council and the National Roads Authority, undertook an excavation in the townland of Donaghmore in advance of construction of the Dundalk Western Bypass (DWB). Excavations were undertaken to ensure all subsoil archaeological remains were preserved by record in advance of groundwork. Resolution excavation of Site 107, Donaghmore 9, was completed at Chainage 18.580 (NGR 202316/306266). The excavation commenced on the 15th of January 2003 and was completed on the 31st of January 2003 using a team of approximately five field archaeologists, directed by Brian O’Donnchadha. The total area of excavation measured 320m2. The site was located in a low-lying valley that contains both a river and a wetland area. Two ridges running extending east-west in direction to the north and south of the valley define the sites perimeter in those directions. Investigations at Site 107, Donaghmore 9 confirmed the present of post-medieval farm buildings, which are depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1836, however no earlier activity was identified on the site. The trackway which provided access to the farm, is illustrated on Taylor and Skinner’s map of County Louth dating to 1783, as part of the Dundalk to Carrickmacross road. The surface of the trackway comprised sandy gravel which was deposited directly onto the natural subsoil and the trackway was bordered by stone dry walls. No finds of archaeological significance were recovered during the archaeological investigations.
