Topsoil-stripping and ground preparation work in two areas on the route of the proposed Midleton Northern Relief Road were monitored in 2008 (they had not been available for centre line testing which was carried out in 2006 and 2007). The areas, both in Knockgriffin, measured c. 150m north–south by 35–40m wide and 90m north–south by 35–40m wide. No archaeological features were identified.
The two millraces in Townparks which were excavated in September 2007 (Excavations 2007, No. 289, 06E1165) were protected and infilled and are preserved in situ.
