Testing was undertaken at the site of a proposed development of social housing, at St Cuthbert’s Park, Clondalkin, Co. Dublin. The assessment followed on from a geophysical survey of the development area, which was carried out by Joanna Leigh under licence 17R0080. There are no recorded monuments located within the development area, however three recorded monuments are located within the park. These consist of a church, graveyard and moated site (DU017-038001-3).
Nothing of archaeological significance was uncovered during the testing. Large portions of the area tested were found to comprise of ‘made-ground’ and were heavily disturbed by services and former groundworks presumably undertaken during the construction of the adjacent housing estates.
