As part of the route selection process for the proposed N28 Bloomfield-Ringaskiddy road, a series of investigations, including geophysical survey, were undertaken to assess the archaeological potential of lands adjacent to the tower house (CO087-052001-), known as Castle Warren. Geophysical survey revealed a complex of features defined by fosses in an area c. 260m to the NE of the tower house (Roseveare and Roseveare 2004). This complex of features comprised a set of interlocking enclosures 'typical of bronze or iron age unenclosed settlement' (ibid.).
