Monitoring of subsurface groundworks before a development of 150 houses in the environs of Blessington village was requested because of the proximity of a number of Recorded Monuments, including a ringfort (SMR 5:23), a barrow (SMR 5:21) and a house site of late 17th-century date associated with Blessington Demesne (SMR 5:18). All subsurface works associated with the development were monitored, but no finds or features of archaeological significance were uncovered.
