  works to facilitate an expansion of the disposal capacity at the existing Bauxite Residue Disposal Area (BRDA). The works will generally consist of the construction of rock fill embankments at the perimeter of the BRDA, offset internally and founded on the previously deposited and farmed bauxite residue, in 2 m high vertical lifts. The proposed development will result in the footprint of the BRDA decreasing as it increases in height. The proposed development will result in a c.12m increase in height (over that previously permitted under Limerick County Council Ref. 05/1836; An Bord Pleanála Ref. PL13.217976) to a maximum height of c.44m OD upon closure. The proposed expansion of the BRDA will provide for the deposition of an additional c. 8.0 million m3 bauxite residue over the lifetime of the development. The proposed development also provides for an expansion of the existing capacity of the Salt Cake Disposal Cell (SCDC), which is located within the BRDA through a vertical extension of the exiting perimeter wall and associated cell lining resulting in a c.2.25m crest height increase of the existing cell to c.31.25m OD and a maximum overall height of c.35.50m OD upon closure. The increase in capacity of the SCDC will provide for the storage of an additional c. 22,500 m3 of salt cake. Additional works include a c.3.9ha expansion of the permitted borrow pit (Limerick City and County Council Ref. 17/714; An Bord Pleanála Ref. ABP-301011- 18) to the east of the BRDA resulting in a total borrow pit area of c.8.4ha with a maximum depth of c. 8.5 m O.D and providing for an additional 380,000m3of rockfill with blasting and crushing of rock to occur between April and September each year. Further works include upgrades to the water management infrastructure to accommodate the BRDA development; the continued use of a stockpile area for rock and top-soil storage to the south east of the BRDA; use of top-soil and rock materials for the landscaped restoration and closure of the BRDA (including SCDC); restoration of the extended borrow pit extraction area; lighting; spillway ramps (drainage channels); revised boundary treatments and ancillary associated works above and below ground.

• LI010-146001 Pit-burial
  Description

  An Early Bronze Age pit excavated by Rose Cleary (04E1306) and described as 'a subcircular pit with some bone fragments in the basal fill. A large flat stone occupied part of the base on the north end. The pit fill was charcoal-enriched brown/black soil with some burnt bone, seashell and a burnt hazelnut shell fragment. The bone was concentrated in the south-west side. The bone fragments were too minute to identify as either animal or human. Five pieces of flint debitage were found at the base of the fill and Beaker pottery sherds were found throughout. The flint debitage may have been placed in the pit prior to infilling. A rounded water-rolled stone of old red sandstone was recovered from this fill. Some evidence of pocking/pitting on one end suggests use as a hammer stone. The pit appears to contain random deposits of pottery sherds, burnt bone and flint debitage. The pottery is from the Beaker period and includes 43 sherds representing at least five vessels. The pottery includes one sherd of Bell Beaker with zoned decoration including comb-impressed lines and short strokes. A second vessel can be categorised as Domestic Beaker and has impressed pits below the rim, both internally and externally. Two fragments of a third vessel are also decorated with impressed comb motifs and they may belong to the Bell Beaker classification. These fragments are from a small, thin-walled vessel (max. thickness 5.5mm). The remaining sherds are undecorated but on fabric type belong to two other vessels. The pottery was broken in antiquity and may have been deposited in the pit as some type of ritualistic gesture.'
