Unlicensed archaeological monitoring of topsoil stripping associated with the provision of a housing development in the townland of Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow was carried out on 21-22 July 2021.

Removal of topsoil was monitored across the entire footprint of the area in which the housing units are to be located, as well as along the route of an associated access road.

Conditions were extremely dry and sunny. Topsoil was grey/brown sandy clay to a maximum depth of 0.37m. Across the monitored site, topsoil directly overlay natural subsoil of a mid-orange/brown sandy clay with occasional small and medium angular stone.
