Monitoring of works took place within the constraint area of Grange Castle, RMP 17:34, at Grange International Business Park, Clondalkin. South Dublin County Council required tat the site be cleared of debris and secured with a fence and ground-beams. The site was being vandalised and used as a dumping ground. A method statement was agreed with the client and with the National Monuments Service. This involved a low-impact solution involving lightweight plant, with the majority of the work being carried out in dry weather to further reduce the surface damage.
The clearance work was carried out without disturbing any archaeological deposits and without the recovery of any artefacts. The fencing required the excavation of a series of holes for the fence posts. These excavations were monitored and no archaeological deposits were disturbed. The ground slab required some excavation but was secured within the depth of the topsoil and remaining debris field. The work has now been completed satisfactorily.
