Monitoring of geotechnical trial pits and boreholes took place in advance of the proposed Blanchardstown Regional Drainage Scheme in the Blanchardstown/Castleknock Area of north County Dublin. The proposed development corridor extends along the River Tolka and the Royal Canal, crossing through the townlands of Parslickstown, Coolmine, Corduff, Deanestown, Blanchardstown, Castleknock and Ashtown. The proposed pipe trench will measure between 2.5m and 15m in width and require an associated wayleave of up to 25m in width during its construction phase.
Nothing of archaeological significance was identified in the course of monitoring of geotechnical test-pits and boreholes along the route of the proposed development.
