A programme of archaeological assessment and monitoring was carried out on a proposed industrial site (COPART) at Big Bog, Castledermot, Co. Kildare. One Recorded Monument (KD40-024, Enclosure at Coltstown) lies 100m to the east of the proposed development site, and the primary aim of the archaeological works was to assess whether features associated with the enclosure extended into the site. Groundworks (for a new gate and new tank) were minor and no archaeological material was identified.
