Monitoring was undertaken at the site of a mixed-use development at 35–37 North Main Street, Naas. The grant of planning originally included a condition requiring that the site be subjected to pre-development testing. However, due to the density of existing buildings on the site, the development was subjected to a non-intrusive impact assessment, following which it was agreed that demolition works and site preparation/disturbance works would be monitored.
All stone building fabric was examined and all ground-reduction works associated with the provision of services, ground beams and underpinning works required of the development were monitored. Nothing of archaeological interest was uncovered during the course of the works.
