Monitoring of ground reductions associated with a link road between two phases of a housing development and related partial field boundary clearance was undertaken on 26 June 1999. The monitoring was carried out in the environs of a possible archaeological site described as an 'earthwork (site)' in the Register of Recorded Monuments and Places for County Wicklow. The site had originally been the subject of an assessment by Valerie Keeley Ltd and was subsequently evaluated by Carmel Duffy (Excavations 1996, 115, 96E0122).

The results of the monitoring were similar to those of the evaluation in that no features, deposits or finds of archaeological interest were uncovered during the work.
