Monitoring was carried out during ground works of a housing development in the townlands of Monalin and Newtownmountkennedy. Monitoring of topsoil stripping was undertaken between April and May 2014. No features of archaeological significance were identified during the monitoring. However, the groundworks in the western portion of the proposed development did not strip the topsoil to the level of the natural subsoil in all places. A full statement on the archaeological potential of this area cannot therefore be made at present.
