The archaeological monitoring of topsoil stripping took place at a site at Thomastown, Loughshinny, Co. Dublin. The archaeological monitoring of topsoil stripping was carried out by a tracked mechanical excavator fitted with a 1.8m wide toothless grading bucket. The sod and topsoil (C1) consisted of a mid-brown loam and measured a maximum of 0.32m in thickness and lay directly above the natural orange clay and stone (C2). No archaeological features were exposed or identified, and no finds were recovered.
