Monitoring of groundworks at the site of the proposed Kilshane Recycling Park in Newtown townland, Kilshane, Co. Dublin, were carried out in January and February 2008. The proposed development was a greenfield site prior to groundworks and is located in a field immediately to the south of the site of a motte and bailey, DU014–013. Nothing of archaeological significance was uncovered in the areas where topsoil-stripping took place during this phase of the development.
