Monitoring of site investigations associated with the proposed development of the Ballyman Reservoir and associated pipelines within the townlands of Ballyman and Old Connaught, County Dublin was carried out in February and July 2017 and April 2018. It follows a previous assessment carried out by Yvonne Whitty in 2016.
A total of 15 slit trenches were excavated in greenfield or within areas of archaeological potential due to the proximity of recorded monuments. No features or artefacts of archaeological significance were identified during the course of monitoring. It was recommended within an overall archaeological summary document produced by the licensee for Irish Water in May 2018 that all topsoil stripping associated with the laying of the new pipeline be subject to archaeological monitoring.
