The client, Michael Good, is undertaking construction of a detached, 2-storey house and a 2-storey terrace of 3 houses with new access via Castle Cove supermarket car park at a greenfield site at rear of 44-45 Castle Street, Dalkey, Co. Dublin. Condition No. 10 of An Bord Pleanála Reference ABP-305227-19 specifies requirement for archaeological monitoring and an Impact Assessment. Following assessment that reaffirmed archaeological potential to the site, Phase 1 of archaeological monitoring occurred. This entailed monitoring of ground works associated with 2 two-storey houses at the south end of the site. The work took place between 8 and 21 July 2021. No archaeology was encountered and it was found that the uppermost strata on the site was a spread of late 19th-century demolition debris and topsoil, overlying natural subsoil.
Phase 2 (excavation for connection of services) and Phase 3 (construction of 3 terraced houses) is planned for early in 2022.
