9.10.6 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS N7 Naas Road Widening & Interchanges Scheme The losses incurred by the preferred scheme are relatively modest. However, while the scheme will have a low negative impact on the natural diversity and cultural heritage of the area, every tree and every length of hedgerow removed does represent a loss, both in terms of the loss of species of flora and the habitat it provides for fauna. This loss can be compensated however by incorporating a replacement planting programme in the development. Where fences and other new boundaries are being constructed, some attempt should be made to match the character and composition of the hedgerows. In the areas considered for more natural treatment, woody species represented in Palmerstown Wood should feature prominently, along with other native and naturalised species characteristic of the area. This offers the opportunity to increase the natural diversity and provide habitat for wildlife in this area of generally low natural value. Environmental Impact Statement 153 June 2001 Volume 2
9.11 ARCHAEOLOGY N7 Naas Road Widening & Interchanges Scheme Valerie J. Keeley Ltd., Archaeological Consultancy, followed their initial assessment of the Route Corridor and alternative schemes with a detailed assessment of the preferred scheme. The assessment was divided into two phases. Firstly, a paper survey was carried out, identifying all recorded sites in close proximity to the preferred scheme. This was followed up with a field inspection of the entire length of the route, and of those sites identified in close proximity to it. Four archaeological sites were discovered from the paper survey and twelve archaeological sites were discovered from field walking. 9.11.1 SITES OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL INTEREST WIHTIN AND IN PROXIMITY TO PREFERRED Environmental Impact Statement 154 June 2001 Volume 2 SCHEME Sixteen sites within 130m of the preferred scheme were identified. These are listed on Table 9.11.1 and shown on Figures 14 – 21 contained in Volume 3 of this Statement. The proposed scheme impacts directly on eleven Sites, numbered 6 to 16. Sites numbered 1 to 5 while adjacent to the scheme are not directly affected. The alignment of the preferred scheme has avoided the known major archaeological remains that survive in the area. These sites did not exist in isolation however, but were part of the interactive archaeological landscape that reached beyond the specific boundaries of the key sites. Archaeological recommendations are provided for those potential sites and the environs of potential sites that will be impacted by the route. 9.11.2 SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS Archaeological investigation is recommended at Sites 6, 10, 11,12, 13, 14 which will be directly impacted upon by the preferred route construction. The initial investigation will determine the nature, extent and significance of the site. Some of the identified sites are without clearly defined indicators, and the investigation will determine if full excavation is required. Full archaeological excavation is recommended where initial investigations have yielded evidence of archaeologically significant material or structures. Intensive archaeological monitoring is recommended in the area in proximity to the zone of archaeological potential at the eastern end of Kill (Site 3), and in the vicinity of the Church and graveyard at Johnstown (Site 1).
