Archaeological monitoring was carried out during ground works associated with a residential development at Thormanby Road, Howth, County Dublin. It followed on from recommendation made by Faith Bailey in a desktop assessment of the site carried out in May 2013.
The area under development consisted of four fields under pasture with an adjoining area of woodland that was preserved in situ. All topsoil stripping was carried out under archaeological supervision.
No features of archaeological significance were identified during the course of the monitoring; however two retouched flint tools of prehistoric date were retrieved from the topsoil with specialist information included within this report.
No further archaeological monitoring is deemed to be necessary in conjunction with the development of the site.
