An assessment, including testing, was carried out at D.B. Motorama, North Street, Swords, Co. Dublin, in July and August 2005. The proposed development includes the demolition of the existing office, car repair sheds and boundary walls on the site, the construction of on-street car parking spaces and the construction of a part three- and part four-storey development with ground-floor car parking, first-floor retail accommodation and second- and third-floor apartments. The site is located outside the zone of archaeological potential for Swords. Five trenches were excavated within the footprint of the proposed development. The construction and demolition of 19th-century cottages on the site have disturbed any possible archaeology and nothing of archaeological interest was noted.
