Monitoring was undertaken at the Kilkee sea wall remedial works along the Strand Line Road (L-2021).
During monitoring, it was revealed that the sea wall is a 19th-century structure and that the soil banked up on the interior of the wall is similarly of 19th-century date. It was noted that this 19th-century fill has been cut and re-cut by a number of modern service trenches.
No features of archaeological interest were identified within the development area. Any further groundwork affecting the sea wall will require to be monitored by suitably qualified archaeologist.
