Monitoring was carried out during groundworks for the construction of a maintenance depot and ancillary services on the grounds of Westport House. The development site is towards the northern edge of the Westport House estate, west of the Farmyard complex. The new depot is sited in a pasture field on the west side of a small farm track and the route of a wastewater pipe is southwards along the farm track, curving along another estate road and terminating in a grassed area south of the farmyard complex, where it meets an existing sewer. Westport House lies approximately 500m to the south-east. Monitoring did not reveal any archaeological material.
