  the creation of a new riverside amenity area on the site of a recently demolished building, at the junction of Wolfe Tone Street and the River Loobagh, adjacent to the River Loobagh Riverside Park in Kilmallock, County Limerick. The amenity area will consist of areas of planting, grassland and natural play areas. The works will include removal of existing fencing that encloses the site and installation of new footpaths to provide improved access to the Riverside Park from Wolfe Tone Street.

• LI047-022027 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  The proposed development is an urban renewal scheme. An archaeological assessment recommended that a series of test excavations be carried out by Sarah McCutcheon under licence No. 98E0538 to ascertain the remains and to allow for advance mitigation. Test-pits 1-4 were excavated where the proposed works were breaching the line of the medieval defences. The excavations were undertaken to ascertain how much, if any, of the medieval wall survived and to pinpoint the location of any gate structures so that the impact of the scheme could be mitigated in advance. Test-pits 5-7 were excavated in the area of the proposed carpark within the medieval town. Test-pits 8-10 were incorporated into this testing strategy in an area that may be developed in the future outside, but adjacent to, the town wall. At the northern limit of the town (Test-pit 1) it appears that existing services and road widening had removed all traces of the town wall at the eastern side of the street. At the postern leading to the Dominican Priory (Test-pit 2) modern backfill extends below the proposed level of the surface water sewer by c. 0.9m. At the eastern Watergate no trace of the wall was found in the test-pit (3), and modern backfill had accumulated over the natural gravel to a depth of 1.5m. At the southern gate (Ivy Gate, Test-pit 4) remains of the town wall and possibly the gate-tower were established. These consisted of the basal courses of a wall 1.3m wide that extended 3.1m into the street. A stone setting to the south-east, at right angles to the town wall, may represent a second wall and possibly the base of a gate-tower. Both walls were abutted by a cobbled surface. In the green-field site boulder clay was generally established at 0.6-0.7m below existing ground level. Above this was a homogeneous 'garden soil'/silty clay, which contained pottery from a wide date range (13th-19th century). Some of this layer may have accumulated in medieval times; however, in the test-pits excavated no upstanding features were recorded. The remaining features (pits and drains) were cut into the boulder clay and were only recognisable at this level, given the similarity of the overlying strata. In the area closer to the street it appears that accumulated layers have been scarped and only features (pits) cut into the boulder clay remain, at a depth of 0.35-0.54m below ground level. In the area proposed for future development the town wall was revealed below the existing ground level. Some layers of silt and charcoal were established c. 20m from/exterior to the town wall. Elsewhere in the field there was an accumulation of 'garden soil'/silty clay lying above undisturbed boulder clay. Sherds of medieval pottery were found in this layer, but it was featureless in the areas excavated' (www.excavations.ie).

• LI047-022031 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  The development consisted of fourteen houses with accompanying carpark spaces located in three adjacent sites, on Orr Street and Wolfe Tone Street within the medieval town and a greenfield site outside of but adjoining the town wall. Two houses front onto Orr Street and this site was excavated under a separate licence, 01E0300 (see No. 769 below). Three of the houses front onto the new access road, which breaches the town wall and leads from Wolfe Tone Street to the Mid-Western Health Board centre. This site was tested in 1997 by Edmond O'Donovan (Excavations 1997, No. 346, 97E0255). The remaining nine houses with adjoining carpark are located in the greenfield site. This was tested by Sarah McCutcheon(Excavations 1998, No. 403, 98E0538) under licence No. 01E0292 on behalf of Limerick County Council. A licence to monitor ground disturbance associated with the development in these two areas was granted. When archaeological deposits were uncovered, the licence was upgraded to cover full excavation. The greenfield site covers an area of approximately 6450m2. It is bounded to the north by the town wall, to the east by the River Loobagh, to the south by the health centre/town park, and to the west by the access road. There is a downward slope from the access road at the west to the river. Archaeological deposits were confined to the northern half of the site, nearer to the town wall. A medieval drain (3.3m wide x 0.45m deep) extended east-west across the entire site. The remaining deposits were concentrated at the north-east and north-west of the site. At the north-east a natural river terrace was exposed, indicating the former wider extent of the River Loobagh. A number of charcoal-rich deposits were recorded in this area, the possible result of industrial activity. In addition, an area of oxidised clay and a rough setting of stones were located at the top of the terrace. These deposits were disturbed by modern field drains. At the north-west, the remains of three pits were uncovered in association with some shallow deposits. The largest pit was circular in plan, 0.8m deep, and contained six separate fills. The remains of four additional pits were recorded in Wolfe Tone Street. Three of these were medieval in date and truncated, leaving their bases exposed. The remaining pit was modern. In addition, a post-medieval drain was uncovered to the north' (www.excavations.ie).

• LI047-024 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Ó Danachair (1955, 213) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'Toberreendoney on 1840 map. A circular stone-lined well, on the roadside. Over it is a small statue of Our Lady in a small wooden niche, and a rough wooden cross. Devotions are still made, but not as often as formerly. The water cures sore eyes. Usually said to be dedicated to Our Lady. Legends: A trout is seen in well by those cured of eye ailments. A black dog appeared here, hence the local name "The Black Dog'.
