Monitoring of the excavation of the foundations of an ESB transformer room and site security office was carried out at Site 37, Park West Retail and Industrial Park, Gallanstown, Dublin. Construction work has been ongoing at this site since October 1997, and therefore the site has been very much disturbed. Early in 1999 skeletal remains were excavated by Margaret Gowen & Co. Ltd from the same townland (No. 246 Excavations 1999).
Monitoring revealed that the topsoil in this area had already been stripped down to the natural boulder clay as part of the previous development and a layer of hardcore had been laid over most of the site. The foundation trenches, which were excavated to a depth of c. 6m, revealed no archaeological deposits or stratigraphy.
