Archaeological monitoring of maintenance dredging took place aboard the Sospan Dau, commencing 23/11/2016. The work was focussed on reducing the build up of sands off the head of Rosslare Pier, the entrance to Rosslare Europort, and the shipping berths. Monitoring was constant. A single object was recovered, namely a Palliser shell, which was removed from site by the Bomb Squad. Dredge depth was achieved with no further discoveries being made.
