Tipperary County Council is undertaking service duct and footpath replacement works on New Street, Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary (Carrickbeg townland). The project entails service trench excavation for reinstallation of services (drainage and ESB), realignment of same, excavation for resurfacing, and new paving finish works including kerbing, throughout New Street. These linear works measure some 140m north to south by 10m and are set firmly within the urban core of the town. The deeper works will entail achieving c. 1m in depth and run the length of the works on either side of the street, which includes four road crossings. Shallower works, i.e. footpath and kerb replacement, will entail achieving depths of up to 0.4m, the majority of which is anticipated to be up to 0.3m.
The project has been partially completed with exposed stratigraphy being either modern or 19th-century building debris. To date no archaeology has been encountered and the works are set to resume in 2021.
