Moore Marine Services Ltd was commissioned by Dominic Delany & Associates on behalf of Wexford County Council to carry out an underwater impact assessment of a proposed sewage outfall at the Corock River, Wellington Bridge, Co. Wexford. The assessment took place in July 2009. Water flow at the time of the survey was minimal, with visibility of 0.5m.
The field survey recorded that the river in this area was flanked on both sides by large clay embankments. It was tidally affected and had a steeply sloping clay foreshore. The survey did not record the presence of any archaeological finds or deposits on the clay riverbanks or in the shallow submarine section of the river.
