Monitoring was undertaken at The Anchorage, Church Street, Howth (which is adjacent to St Mary's Abbey), prior to the construction of an extension and car-parking spaces at the property. Groundworks comprised the excavation of a foundation trench for a retaining wall at the east of the site, a service trench for ESB ducting and the excavation of a surface water soakaway to the west of the site. Excavated soils consisted solely of introduced material (horticultural soil and building rubble). No archaeological features or objects were noted in the course of monitoring.
