Planning permission was granted for a development of 315 houses at Ardrew, Athy, on a site that fell within the zone of archaeological potential of an enclosure (SMR 35:31) and a burial site (SMR 35:49). An assessment including testing was carried out by Avril Purcell, Christine Grant and Sheila Lane in 2001 (Excavations 2001, Nos 599 and 600). No archaeological finds or levels were noted in the area of the burial site. A 15m buffer zone was allowed around the enclosure site. It was recommended that all further groundworks be monitored. Monitoring took place in August 2002, during the third stage of development on-site. No archaeological finds or levels were noted.
