Planning permission was granted to construct a two-storey extension to the southern side of St Joseph’s Community Nursing Unit, Trim. St Joseph’s Community Nursing Unit, formerly known as St Joseph’s Hospital, is situated on the south side of the river Boyne with Patrick Street forming its northern boundary. It is located outside the line of the Trim town walls and also of the Zone of Archaeological Potential for Trim. Although the whole town of Trim has been recorded as ME036-048 (historic town), there are no recorded monuments in the immediate vicinity of the development site.
St Joseph’s was built on to and includes original elements of the Trim Poor Law Union work house built in 1840-1841 (NIAH Registration No 14328013).
Archaeological monitoring was carried out May-June 2018 during ground works on the site and no archaeological material was exposed.
