Pre-development assessment of a commercial extension took place at Bridge Street, Ardee, Co. Louth. The development site lay c. 10m outside the line of the town walls, which ran alongside the opposite side of the River Dee from the development. These walls enclosed an area of c. 25ha and had six gates. One of these, Bridge Gate, was at the north side of the adjacent bridge.
Two trenches were dug in the development area. In each, red-brick demolition rubble overlay a light brown, gravel-and-clay substratum. Nothing of archaeological significance was noted.
