Testing and monitoring took place in relation to the development of retail units adjacent to a ‘possible chapel site’ (DU015–084). The site, at the corner of Malahide Road and Coolock village, had previously been a Shell petrol station; decommissioning works included the removal of up to 4m of contaminated soils across 70% of the site. Testing was undertaken mechanically across the site. The remaining undisturbed ground contained no archaeological features. Monitoring of piling works was undertaken, but no archaeological material was found.
