It is proposed by Down District Council to upgrade the gravel pitch at Donard Park, Newcastle, Co. Down, to a synthetic turf playing pitch. Prior to construction commencing, an archaeological assessment of the site was conducted. No archaeological deposits were identified during the course of the assessment.

Editor’s note: Although this licence was issued during 2005, the report on the work was not received in time for inclusion in the bulletin of that year.
