Planning conditions required monitoring of a site for a new house to be erected on the location of a number of demolished buildings on either side of a laneway that formerly ran perpendicular to the north side of Main Street, Castlemartyr, Co. Cork. The laneway and demolished buildings were depicted on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey but were no longer extant by the time of the second edition. The site is within the zone of archaeological potential of the historical town, and monitoring was carried out on 26 January and 13 July 2002 as part of an assessment. No finds or features of archaeological significance were revealed during the works.
