Archaeological assessment took place at a proposed residential development at South Quay, Arklow, Co. Wicklow. Two trenches were dug. Trench 1 was 88m long, 1m wide and 2m deep. At the south end of the trench was a black, organic layer, 0.3m thick, containing 19th-century pottery. It sat on natural estuarine gravels. At the north end a layer of red brick rubble overlay the natural gravel.
