Planning permission was granted to demolish a two-storey structure and construct two overhead apartments and ancillary structures at a supermarket at Bishop’s Street, Newcastle West, Co. Limerick. The development site is in the zone of archaeological potential of the town. Groundworks were monitored. The new building will be constructed on a series of eight pads and some connecting strip foundations that vary in size throughout the site. Initial clearance of rubble revealed a section of a drain culvert at the eastern limits of the site. Two sections of stone-lined drains were recorded. No archaeological stratigraphy or artefacts were revealed.
