Unlicenced archaeological monitoring was carried out at Athlone Institute of Technology, Co. Westmeath in December 2022 and January 2023.
The sod and topsoil was found to measure between 0.32-0.45m in thickness and lay directly above the natural orange gravelly clay and stone. No archaeological features or deposits were exposed, and no finds were recovered. The work is now complete, and no further mitigation is necessary.
