Monitoring of topsoil-stripping associated with a residential development at Sherlockstown Road, Sallins, commenced in November 2010. The site extends over an area of c. 10.5 acres and the overall development will comprise a total of 119 residential units. The remains of a possible tower-house (KD019–062) are located c. 80m to the west of the western boundary to the site.
To date, a number of service roads have been subjected to topsoil-stripping and nothing of archaeological interest has been uncovered. Further monitoring is expected to be undertaken during 2011.
