Monitoring was undertaken as part of the Luas Cross City (LCC) Heritage Works contract for the Railway Procurement Agency (RPA). The contract was designed to identify and record previously unrecorded sub-surface archaeological stratigraphy which will be impacted by the construction of LCC. One archaeological licence, from St. Grafton Street to O’Connell Street, was provided for under the contract (Licence No. 13E0353). Works undertaken in 2014 are summarized in a separate entry.
Further monitoring was undertaken on 22-23 June 2015 at the Fr Matthew statue on O’Connell Street. Following removal of the statue, plinth and adjacent paving, c. 300-350 mm of the plinth foundation was removed. No archaeological objects or material were exposed or disturbed in the course of this work.
