Monitoring was carried out on a development site located within the zone of archaeological potential for Arklow town and to the south of the Avoca River. It was 12m long and 10m wide along the street front, narrowing to 4m at the south. The footprint area was excavated to a depth of 0.6m below ground level. The ground comprised fill and sterile river gravel deposits, with some demolition rubble in the upper level. Nothing of archaeological significance was found
