Monitoring of topsoil stripping at Sites B1, B2 and D1, Horizon Logistics Park, located at Harristown, Swords, was undertaken between August and September 2015. Monitoring was carried out in response to planning conditions attached to the development (Planning Ref.: 3012/14).
Inspection of sites B1 and B2 prior to groundworks revealed that the area had been largely topsoil stripped in the recent past. Monitoring revealed that the remaining topsoil layer across sites B1 and B2 was less than 0.09m in depth. Removal of the remaining topsoil layer revealed nothing of archaeological significance.
No evidence of topsoil removal was observed at site D1 prior to groundworks. The topsoil depth was recorded as 0.35m. Monitoring did not reveal any features of archaeological potential.
