Jana Developments are constructing 53 semi-detached two-storey dwellings as part of a residential estate development on the interface between suburban Limerick and the rural hinterland. The nearest known site, LI013-025, a ringfort, is situated some 200m from the site. Construction and as a consequence archaeological monitoring work occurring in several phases and will continue throughout 2022.
The 2021 tranche of monitoring took place between 15 April and 14 June. The ground works have entailed foundation excavation within a brownfield site. The dimensions of the trenches varied between 1m and 1.6m wide, and 0.6m to 1.2m in depth. The stratigraphy has consisted of minimal topsoil overlying pale yellow grey glacial till. No archelogy was encountered during this phase of works.
