Archaeological monitoring of topsoil stripping and the removal of overburden was undertaken at the Móin na Rí residential development in Monadrishane, Kilworth in late May 2022 in order to comply with An Bord Pleanála planning condition. This was largely due to the fact that the eastern portion of the site is within the Zone Of Notification associated with cist burial (CO027-111----). Much of the subject site had been disturbed by previous development-related activity.
Overburden and topsoil were reduced down to the upper levels of the underlying natural subsoil across a relatively undisturbed c. 0.4 ha area in the eastern portion of the site and a more disturbed c. 0.1 ha area in the northern portion of the site. While evidence of past agricultural activity was uncovered, nothing of an archaeological nature was revealed during the site clearance and topsoil stripping works.
