2000:0129 - CORK: 11 North Main Street, Cork

Development at 11 North Main Street, Cork, includes an extension to the rear (east) of an existing street-fronting building. The site is on the North Island of the historic core of Cork City. Proposed foundations are raft-type and will be to a maximum depth of 0.6m below the existing ground level. A test-trench was excavated to establish if archaeological levels existed at levels of up to 1m below the modern ground level. The lowest level encountered was a humic layer, which may be part of a garden soil to the rear of the street-fronting house. Layers above this were of modern fill.
