2012:640 - BRAY LITTLE/RAVENSWELL/BRAY COMMONS/KILLARNEY/BRAY, Wicklow

wade survey and a magnetometry survey by hand-held metal detection were carried out at the site out along a 4km stretch of the River Dargle at Bray, Co. Wicklow. The work was carried out in advance of a flood defence scheme that includes widening and deepening of the river channel. Where possible, metal detector hits were examined and logged. These were logged with a high frequency at over 1 per square metre. A large number of the hits were visible and consisted of modern dumped material. No archaeologically significant material was encountered.
