Planning permission was granted for a development of 315 dwelling houses at Ardrew, Athy, Co. Kildare, on a site which fell within the zone of archaeological potential for an enclosure and a burial site. An assessment was carried out by Avril Purcell in 2001 (Excavations 2001, No. 600). No archaeological finds or levels were noted in the area of the burial site. In consultation with Dúchas, a 15m buffer zone was allowed around the enclosure site. It was recommended that all further groundworks be monitored.
Monitoring took place in August 2002, during the third stage of development on-site. No archaeological finds or levels were noted (Excavations 2002, No. 858). Monitoring took place during the fourth and fifth stages of development in January and November 2003. No archaeological finds or levels were noted.
