Abstract:		 A programme of fieldwork was carried out, following on from the photographic recording of the buildings, consisting of the archaeological observation of soil stripping and foundation trenches in accordance with a brief prepared by the County Planning Archaeologist on behalf of the Planning Authority (March 2013), between September 2013 and October 2013. The watching brief was designed to observe any groundworks associated with the development and record as far as possible, the nature of the archaeological resource. The work undertaken involved the examination of early map evidence as well as records of archaeological remains in the area, local historical journals and other publications. An archaeologist was present during groundworks. The composite floor of the byre was removed using a mini-excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket. Foundation trenches were excavated 1m below the former ground level using a toothless bucket 0.6m wide Archaeological observation at Windy Hill cattle byre revealed some early floor and made-up surfaces and was able to confirm that it was built as an open-fronted structure. No significant evidence was found which would indicate a construction period earlier than the late 19th century was found. A photographic record was made of the open fronted cattle byre prior to works commencing. The lack of any evidence for wall foundations and the fact that there was not always a clear distinction between the internal and external deposits, suggests that the byre had always been open fronted. The date of the byre structure appeared to be late 19th-century and excavations through the floor deposits did not contradict this.
