Archaeological monitoring of ground investigation (GI) works associated with the proposed Kenmare Flood Relief Scheme in Kenmare, Co. Kerry, was undertaken in February and July 2024. Five of the GI locations were selected for archaeological monitoring.
TP10, TP14 and DP04 fell within the Zone of Notification for National Monument KE93-080, Cromwell's Bridge, and were subject to Ministerial Consent C001241/E005567. The remaining two GIS works - TP01 and TP12 - were located within 10m of an area of archaeological potential and were recommended for licenced archaeological monitoring. In addition, there were recommendations for the review of borehole logs for 9 locations.
Archaeological monitoring and review of logs did not identify any archaeological features or material.
