Report authored by Markus Casey for Tom O'Keeffe. Casey was commissioned to perform test excavation on a site in Lydacan, Claregalway O'Keeffe wished to build upon. The site formerly incorporated a late medieval tower house (Lydacan House) that was largely demolished in 1992 by a previous landowner, and had been annotated as early as 1778 as the site of a ruined castle, which the current landowner was unaware of and created a delay in the development of the site. Casey recommends a programme of mitigatory measures to mitigate any possible interference with medieval remains that the proposed development might incur. See P164/3/9/12 for further research.
