Monitoring was carried out at the RDS Pavilion, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, over various dates in July and August 2010. The site was located just outside the RMP exclusion zone for Simmonscourt Castle (DU010–009, no longer extant). The works monitored involved the addition of small toilet/service blocks, measuring c. 15m x 5m, to the north-western and north-eastern façades of the pavilion. Nothing of archaeological interested was noted during these works. Modern deposits directly overlay natural boulder clay, which was in turn truncated by numerous service trenches.
