Monitoring was undertaken of the River Liffey investigation works in relation to a proposed pedestrian bridge by Dublin Dockland Authority. The proposed site is located crossing the River Liffey from City Quay to Custom House Quay, in front of the New Jury’s Hotel. A pontoon with a drill rig present was set up from the bridge site to agreed locations. The work was carried out over three days and four boreholes were drilled, each 0.2m in diameter. It was possible to attain solid cores of the drilled material.
No material of archaeological interest was identified during this monitoring of operations.
