Riverine assessment took place as part of the proposed Limerick southern ring road (Phase II), Southern Contract. The assessment was carried out along a 150m stretch of Ballynaclogh River within the townlands of Ballinacurra (Weston) and Rosbrien. Systematic visual inspection of the riverbed, intertidal and bankside elements of Ballynaclogh River were undertaken at the proposed river crossing. In addition, where practicable, a comprehensive magnetometer survey by hand-held metal detection was undertaken. No archaeologically significant material was revealed.
