A programme of monitoring was carried out at a development site in Coolock, Dublin 5. The site is located at the rear of Boylesports, Nos 5 and 6 Main Street, Coolock Village, Dublin 5. Archaeological investigations in 2010-2011 to the south-west of Boylesports (Target 10R117; McLoughlin & Lynch 10E0350 & 10E0510), combined with historical and cartographic evidence, suggested that the centre of a medieval manorial farm of Coolock may be situated very close to the proposed development area. In the event, no medieval archaeology was identified. The remains of a former 19th-century lane and drain leading to a smithy were identified and recorded. All ground works for the development are complete and no further archaeological work is recommended.
