The route included townlands in counties Dublin (Fingal) and Meath, OS 6" Sheets 1, 4 and 5, Co. Dublin, and Sheet 28, Co. Meath. The monitoring was carried out between 6 August and 31 October 1996.
Six archaeological sites were uncovered in the course of the monitoring and all have been fully excavated: this one was identified as an area of burning and pits.
