A pre-disturbance watercourse survey took place in advance of a proposed pipe-laying process for the Lissenhall–Jordanstown trunk water mains, Co. Dublin. The survey involved two streams that join together c. 50m downstream of the road (R132). The river channels were investigated in Turvey townland downstream of Daws Bridge. No archaeologically significant material was observed in the streambed or banks. The bridges and road wall retain 18th- to 19th-century construction features. A revetment wall recorded 23m downstream of the bridge on the north-east bank is probably 19th-century in date.
