Intertidal fieldwalking took place on the proposed route of a 1.4km rising drain that will run from Rush to Portrane, crossing Rogerstown estuary. In addition, an underwater visual inspection and magnetometry survey was undertaken of a 100m stretch of the Rogerstown estuary prior to the insertion of a 525mm rising drain. Diver assessment extended 50m upstream and 50m downstream of the impact corridor. Detailed descriptions were made of riverbed topography and bottom composition and, where possible, metal-detector hits were examined and logged. No archaeologically significant material was observed during either the fieldwalking or underwater survey.
