2009:285 - BALLYMUN: Gateway Crescent, Silloge, Dublin

Monitoring of site clearance works associated with the Emerald Project, at Gateway Crescent, Silloge, Ballymun, was carried out on behalf of Ballymun Regeneration Limited. The proposed development involved the excavation of built-up material in two areas, A and B, which lay in a commonage area measuring c. 4900m². This area partially served as a playground in the north-east corner, while the remainder was kept as a landscaped green area bordered by a number of footpaths. The excavated areas formed the footprint for a proposed number of apartment blocks with associated works. No finds, features or deposits of archaeological significance were uncovered during monitoring at the site.
