Carlow © Teagasc, 2011 Origination by Keystrokes Digital, Dublin Printed by Grehan Printers, Dublin ii Soils of Co Waterford 13/10/2011 14:25 Page iii PREFACE This publication, Soil Survey Bulletin No. 44, presents the findings of the Soil Survey of County Waterford. It is the thirteenth in a series of county soil survey bulletins to be published by Teagasc; these surveys now cover about half the area of the State. Although the scope and methodology of the survey of Co. Waterford conform broadly to that of previous counties, some changes and additions were introduced. As in the other counties, field mapping was carried out at a scale of 1:10,560 with a view to publication at 1:126,720; the publication scale, however, was increased to 1:100,000 to improve legibility. Map accuracy and quality were assessed in a sample area. Moisture retention characteristics of representative profiles were determined in the laboratory, and the hydraulic conductivities of lowland Gley soils were measured in the field. Mr J. Diamond (Project Leader), Mr P. Feeney (Moorepark), Mr J. Hartigan, Mr P. Sills and Mr K. Sills performed the field mapping. Mr N. Kijp (Wageningen) and Mr S. Ormonde assisted in the fieldwork relating to the assessment of map accuracy. The laboratory staff of the Soil Survey Department, under the direction of Mr T. Shanley, provided the particle size and chemical analyses data. Mr E. McDonald and Mr P. Sills made the soil moisture retention, particle density, and bulk density determinations. The field measurement of hydraulic conductivity was performed by Mr J. Hartigan and Mr G. Ryan. Mr V. Staples reduced the field sheets to 1:126,720 scale and calculated the areas of the map units. Mr E. McDonald prepared the digital version of the soil and soil suitability maps that accompany this bulletin; he also prepared the various figures that are in the bulletin. Ms M. Foley was responsible for word processing. Assistance also came from some outside sources. In the assessment of soil suitability, especially that of hill land, Mr D. Ryan and Mr W. McCarthy of the Agricultural Advisory Service in Co. Waterford gave valuable assistance. Climatic data were abstracted from Met Éireann records. The Ordnance survey provided the topographic maps that were used in field mapping; it also prepared the modified digital topographic map that forms the base of the soil and soil suitability maps. The section on bedrock was based mainly on the Bedrock Geology 1:100,000 series compiled by the Geological Survey (Sleeman and McConnell, 1995; Tietzsch-Tyler and Sleeman, 1994). The description of Quaternary Geology in the county mainly follows that presented by Quinn and Warren (1989). Permission to traverse the land of the county was freely given by farmers and landowners; their generous cooperation is gratefully acknowledged. Grateful acknowledgement is made to all those contributors mentioned here and to others who helped in various ways.

Waterford SURVEY OF PRE-1923 COUNTY WATERFORD INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE 1. INTRODUCTION Waterford County Council, supported by the Heritage Council, commissioned Dublin Civic Trust in July 2007 to compile an inventory of the extant pre-1923 industrial heritage structures within Waterford County. This inventory excludes Waterford City from the perimeters of study, as it is not within the jurisdiction of Waterford County Council. This survey comes from a specific objective in the Waterford County Heritage Plan 2006 – 2011, Section 1.1.17 which requests “…a database (sic) the industrial and engineering heritage of County Waterford”. The aim of the report, as discussed with Waterford County Council, is not only to record an inventory of industrial archaeological heritage but to contextualise its significance. It was also anticipated that recommendations be made as to the future re-use of such heritage assets and any unexplored areas be highlighted. Mary Teehan buildings archaeologist, and Ronan Olwill conservation planner, for Dublin Civic Trust, Nicki Matthews conservation architect and Daniel Noonan consultant archaeologist were the project team.
