The proposed development is located in Clonakilty Harbour, Clonakilty, Co. Cork. Clonakilty Town Council is proposing to construct a tidal barrage across the harbour to protect the town from tidal and freshwater flooding. A cultural heritage assessment for the proposal recommended pre-construction metal-detection survey, pre-construction probing survey and monitoring of construction works. A metal-detection and probe survey was undertaken of the foreshore in the area of the proposed car-park area on the east side of Clonakilty Harbour. No finds or features of archaeological significance were noted during the metal detection and probe survey. Testing will take place in advance of further development works.
