Monitoring of topsoil-stripping was carried out along the path of Phase 5 of the Balbriggan Outer Relief Road during January 2008. This was undertaken after testing was carried out along the route in 2007 (Excavations 2007, No. 445, 07E0836). This resulted in the discovery of four archaeological sites along the path of the road and two along the path of associated distribution roads (Areas 1–6). No further areas of archaeological significance were discovered during the monitoring works, although the topsoil-stripping of some of the associated distribution roads has yet to take place.
