Scope and content

Report authored by Markus Casey for the Roscommon National Roads Design Office. The report itemises and describes 30 known or potential archaeological sites that would be disturbed by the realignment of the N5 road between Longford and Drumsna, County Leitrim. Casey notes that 30 sites of archaeological, historical, or architectural significance might be impacted to some degree by construction of the road, but that no more than 9 of these sites would be negatively impacted by any one of the 6 proposed routes. Casey also notes the 2 routes that would incur the least damage on these sites. The report lists potential impacts on each of these sites along with Casey's opinion on recommended actions for each site (recording, monitoring, test excavation, partial excavation, complete excavation, or avoidance). Includes 16 colour photographs of various sites along the route.
