Archaeological mitigation was conducted in advance of further construction works for the Mourne conduit replacement scheme (Aquarius Project). The area for the proposed water pipeline was topsoil-stripped using a back-acting excavator fitted with a toothless bucket. The topsoil removal revealed no evidence of archaeological deposits.
Editor’s note: Although this licence was issued during 2004, the report on the work was not received in time for inclusion in the bulletin of that year.
