Monitoring of topsoil-stripping continued in Blessington Demesne. During monitoring works three small rubbish pits containing 17th–19th-century artefacts were recorded. The artefacts signify domestic activity surrounding Blessington Demesne. A linear drainage feature dating to the 19th century was recorded and was interpreted as an agricultural feature.
