Monitoring was carried out on the site of two proposed houses at Inse Bay, Laytown, Co. Meath. This was the site of an old site compound between No. 11 The Rise and No. 21 The Grove. Monitoring revealed that the area of the compound had already been stripped of topsoil and partially disturbed to a depth of 0.3m. The sod and topsoil measured a maximum of 0.32m in thickness and lay above a layer of mid- to dark-brown coarse clay containing builders’ rubbish. No archaeological features or deposits were exposed and no finds were retrieved.
