The proposed development involves the placement of a feeder mains pipeline from Rathnew to Arklow town, Co. Wicklow. In general the proposed pipe-trench will measure between 0.29m and 0.45m and will be excavated to a total depth of 0.9m. Desk study for the project stated that this pipeline will marginally affect the areas of archaeological potential in both Arklow and Wicklow towns.
The pipeline entered the town and encroached on a recorded archaeological monument, SMR 25:012 (02), the Franciscan friary. The areas adjacent to the monument were closely monitored, and no features were encountered. The town will not be subject to any further pipeline trenching until 2001.
