Monitoring of ground reduction works associated with the development of the Athlone Arts Gallery was completed during 2012 (see also Excavations 2011, No. 603). Such works were largely concentrated in the southern area of the site where new services pipes and ducts were installed, together with a new vehicular entrance on the northern edge of the site. No additional subsurface features were uncovered and no additional artefacts were recovered during this final phase of monitoring.
