Monitoring of topsoil-stripping associated with the infrastructural development of a business park and the construction of a distribution centre development at Great Connell Road, Newbridge, Co. Kildare, was undertaken from 18 September to 7 October 2000. The work was carried out in compliance with conditions contained in the grants of planning with respect to the developments, following the submission of an EIS.
All topsoil-stripping was carried out using mechanical excavators fitted with toothless buckets. No features, structures or finds of archaeological or historical interest were revealed during the course of the work. Additional monitoring will be undertaken in the future as other industrial units are constructed.
