Condition 3 of the Grant of Planning with respect to an extension and refurbishment of an existing dwelling at Barrack Street, Ballymore Eustace, Co. Kildare required that all site preparation and ground reduction works be monitored by an archaeologist. The works involved topsoil stripping of areas to the rear, east and front of the existing dwelling and the removal of a garage and utility room to the west of the existing structure together with the excavation of foundations.
The development site is located within the RMP Zone established for Ballymore Eustace (Historic Town; Ref: KD029-011001) and not close to any previously identified individual monuments.
No subsurface features of archaeological interest or potential were uncovered by the works; seven sherds of medieval pottery, two sherds of post-medieval pottery and a sherd of pantile were recovered from the topsoil.
