The excavation of foundations and ancillary works associated with the proposed development were monitored between October and November 2003. The site is located on the lower slopes of Dalkey Hill, outside the zone of archaeological potential for the medieval village of Dalkey (SMR 23:23). The monitoring revealed that the site was previously disturbed and consisted of modern debris in a clay matrix overlying natural boulder clay. A thick band of granite ran diagonally through the site at a depth of 0.7m below the surrounding ground surface level. Nothing of archaeological significance was encountered during the monitoring of the site.
