  1. Removal of existing scrub and failed plantation and the sequential raising of ground levels across the proposed development site by an average of 1.25m using imported soil and stone comprising both waste and (non-waste) byproduct; 2. Development and operation of a construction and demolition (C&D) waste recovery facility at a new (unpaved) hard-standing area to the north-west of the site. The recovery facility provides for the processing / recycling of inert C&D waste (principally solid / reinforced concrete, bricks, ceramics and solid bituminous waste mixtures) using mobile crushing and screening equipment to produce recycled (secondary) aggregate and the use of surrounding hard-standing areas for the external handling and storage of both unprocessed C&D wastes and recycled aggregates. 3. The construction of a portal frame building with roof-mounted solar panels (3,058sqm), (which will accommodate a workshop, offices and staff welfare facilities) with external provision of staff and visitor car-parking and bicycle parking on a concrete paved area to the south-west of the site; 4. Upgrading of the existing site entrance from the R445 Regional Road and internal access road into the site to provide a secure access point and provision of a weighbridge / site office, and wheelwash to facilitate the proposed development; 5. The provision of surface water management infrastructure for the office and concrete paved area to the south-west of the site, including silt traps and hydrocarbon interceptor (Full flow treatment system) attenuation pond for storm runoff, flow control device from Attenuation Pond and and all associated drainage works. 6. Provision of a foul wastewater treatment system at the site to treat all wastewater(s); 7. Landscaping including boundary treatment and fencing and internal hard and soft landscaping at the hardstand areas and proposed building. 8. All ancillary site development works to facilitate the proposed development, including water services, utilities, lighting and other associated infrastructure works and services.

• LA008-005 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Marked as 'Site of Castle' on 1841 edition of the OS 6-inch map. No visible surface remains (FitzGerald 1903-5, 196). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 17 December 2007

• LA009-005 Church
  Description

  In slightly elevated position, on the demesne lands of Emo Castle. No surface remains visible of Killeenatogher Church or 'Little Church of the Causeway'. This church site may have been the parochial church of the medieval parish of Ardea and could have housed the medieval baptismal font (LA009-006---) now at Coolbanagher Church. It may have been the church known in medieval records as 'Capella S[anc]ti Joannis Baptistae de Imo' (Church of St. John the Baptist of Emo) (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, 590). In 1838 the Ordnance Survey described the church site as 'near the farmyard are several very old yew trees marking the site of an old church, in the southern part is 'Kilnatocher' so called from an old Togher or bog road' (OSNB Portarlington Parish). The site of this church is incorrectly marked on the 1906 ed. OS 25-inch map. The church site was located to the E in the area indicated on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map. On the 1838 OS map the church site was located immediately to the W of an access road running diagonally across the field belonging to the demesne of Emo Castle. The map shows a possible small enclosing feature surrounding the church which may have been a small enclosure. Aerial photographs taken by the NMS in June 2020 identified the cropmark of an L-shaped ditch which was located approximately 70m S of the site of Killeenatogher Church site. The cropmark may be a boundary ditch or corner of a square-shaped enclosure belonging to the church site but this is uncertain. Faint cropmark of a possible square-shaped enclosure (approx. dims. 75m x 75m) visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 05/1/2009. Alternatively the earthwork may be related to a designed landscape feature such as a walled garden or some other feature associated with Emo Castle (Court). Numerous cropmarks visible in tillage field to S of church site. Cropmark of linear ditch at S end of field could be related to the trackway/togher or causeway the memory of which is preserved in the local placename.

  Description

  Located in tillage field on the demesne lands of Emo Court in an area known locally as 'Killeenatogher'. Killeenatogher church site (LA009-005----) 260m to NW. Semi-circular-shaped cropmark of W half of possible enclosure (approx. diam. 55m) bisected by a modern field boundary running N-S is visible on aerial image taken June 2020. Could be the remains of a levelled ringfort or possibly a designed landscape feature such as a tree-ring associated with Emo Castle demesne. The field has several other cropmarks some of which relate to the landscaping of the demesne lands belonging to Emo Castle (Court).
