Monitoring of site investigations was carried out in advance of the Ennis Mains Rehabilitation Works, Ennis, Co. Clare. It follows on from recommendations made in a desktop assessment carried out by Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd (Tobin 2013). Monitoring of 23 site investigation slit trenches was undertaken intermittently from 12 June to 4 July 2013. These trenches were only excavated to a depth necessary to locate the existing water mains.

Only the trenches within archaeologically sensitive areas were subject to monitoring. No archaeologically significant features or deposits were identified in this phase of monitoring. A second phase of monitoring will be undertaken during the pipe laying works, which is pending.
