Visual inspection and magnetometer survey by handheld metal detection was employed to assess the archaeological potential of the seabed surrounding two impact areas associated with the proposed construction of a discharge pipeline and pumping station at Aghada power station. Dive operations were run from a 'live boat' set up to maximise seabed coverage. The survey extended 15m either side of the pipeline route and 60m off the terminal end of the construction. Likewise, a suitable survey 'buffer zone' was included around the proposed pumping station. The foreshore area, an area of extensively reclaimed land, was also field-walked. No archaeologically significant features were identified for either area. The assessment was undertaken on 1 April 2004.
