The New Ross Model constitutes the River Barrow as it makes the transition from river to estuary and directly affects New Ross AFA which is located on the Upper Barrow Nore Estuary. The River Barrow is tidally influenced approximately 17km upstream from New Ross and therefore so is the majority of the New Ross Model. See Chapter 3 of the Hydrology Report and Section 4.10.5(4) of this report for further details (IBE0601Rp0011_HA14 Hydrology Report_F02). The total contributing area at the downstream limit of the model is 3093.5km2 i.e. the entire Barrow catchment. 91% of this comes from upstream of the Graiguenamanagh model. The remaining fluvial flows come from small unmodelled tributaries entering the tidal Barrow from the east and west along the length of the Graiguenamanagh model. The largest of these are the Aughnavaud and Pollmounty Rivers, with catchment areas of 31 and 48km2 respectively. There are no useable hydrometric stations within the model. Therefore hydrological estimates of design flows were based on FSU ungauged catchment methods as detailed in the Hydrology Report ((IBE0601Rp0011_HA14 Hydrology Report_F02). The central section of the River Barrow within the New Ross Model is HPW, as this is where it passes through the New Ross AFA. It was therefore modelled as 1D-2D using the MIKE suite of software. The upper and lower segments of the River Barrow within the model are MPW and therefore modelled in 1D only. New Ross AFA was identified as at risk from both fluvial and coastal flood sources during the PFRA. An initial screening process was undertaken to ascertain whether the flooding mechanisms in New Ross warrant further considerations of the joint probability of occurrence. This analysis identified that there is overlap of flood extents within the AFA and that large flows on the River Barrow combined with high tides could exacerbate flooding, (refer to Chapter 6.3.2 of IBE0601Rp0011_HA14 Hydrology Report_F02). Therefore joint probability scenarios were further considered for this area. These scenarios included (as detailed in Chapter 3.7.3): Coastal events of 10%, 0.5% and 0.1% AEP were combined with a fluvial event of 50% AEP in order to produce joint AEPs of 10%, 0.5% and 0.1% AEP for a coastal dominated scenario. Conversely, fluvial events of 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP were combined with a coastal event of 50% AEP for IBE0601Rp0017 4.10-1 F02 South Eastern CFRAM Study HA14 Hydraulics Report - DRAFT FINAL joint AEPs of 10%, 1% and 0.1% AEP for a fluvial dominated scenario.

There does not appear to be any survey information available for this bridge within the AutoCAD drawing. Figure 4.10.6: Survey Query 1 Outcome: This query was not taken forward for follow up survey. An initial assessment estimated that this bridge has very little hydrodynamic impact on the River Barrow due to the narrow piers and high soffit level. It is also located on MPW, approximately 11 km from the AFA. It was therefore decided to omit this bridge from the model.

The flood defences in the New Ross area are critical for the completion of the New Ross modelling. If they were not in place flooding would occur; modelling of this area cannot be completed without this fundamental information. Outcome: Flood defences were surveyed from chainage 16524m to chainage 27734m. There was one area that was not covered by the survey as surveyors were unable to gain access to the site, see Figure 4.10.7. Therefore this section of the defence is only represented by the LIDAR information.

Waterford. Cheekpoint is a coastal village, located east of Waterford City, at the confluence of the River Barrow and the River Suir. The village commands scenic views of Waterford Harbour. On the opposite side of the river along the north banks there is the Great island Power station in Co. Wexford. 1.2 The built heritage of the Harbour, consists of elements of the late 18th Century harbour such as the small stone pier and low quay walls, a row of 18th Century renovated single storey fisherman’s cottages, Daisybank House (1765) and the Mount (1750). The harbour/ pier is L-shaped. 1.3 Cheekpoint Harbour is prone to silting. In 1995 a series of groynes were built 200metres out in the river to divert the Cheekpoint Bar, which was a mudbank impeding large vessels traveling up the river, which resulted in Checkpoint silting up and now Waterford Port has to regularly dredge the river in the vicinity of Cheekpoint to ensure access to the quay.

  • Archaeological Evidence for the Different Expressions of Scandinavian Settlement in Ireland, 840-1100
    CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE FOR THE DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS OF SCANDINAVIAN SETTLEMENT IN IRELAND, 840-1100 Patrick F. Wallace nstead of speculating on what exactly the Irish chroniclers who described the Imid-ninth-century Scandinavian fortresses in Ireland äs longpbuirt (literally 'ship fortresses') meant by the term, it is intended here merely to provide an overview of the archaeological evidence äs it presently exists for the different types of Scandinavian- inspired settlements which existed in Viking Age Ireland. Best understood and most enduring are the towm of Dublin, Waterford, Limerick and Wexford. In their developed form in the tenth-, eleventh- and early twelfth-century Hiberno-Norse phase, these consisted of large defended settlements at the tidal conflu- ences of main rivers and their tributaries. They were located on high ground traversed by ascending streets which, together with laneways and intramural accesses, formed irregulär rather than gridded networks. Boundary fences radiated from the streets forming rows of contiguous rectangular or trapezoid plots into which settlements were divided. The archaeological record preserves rieh evidence for the buildings and layout of plots particularly at Dublin, Waterford and Wexford äs well äs at Cork where recent excavations have unearthed what had hitherto been regarded äs urban houses of Hiberno-Norse type in an indigenous urban settlement of the later eleventh- and early twelfth-century period. It appears that access through individual plots was controlled. Main buildings had their narrow ends to streets or laneways, had pathways leading to the entrances and from back entrances to lesser outbuildings and sheds in the yards at the back of the plots.

  • C7 Viking-Activity-In-Ireland-By-County
    1 A COUNTY BY COUNTY REFERENCE LIST FOR VIKING ACTIVITIES IN IRELAND AS DESCRIBED IN THE ANNALS The following list is a preliminary attempt by Lenore Fischer to put together a geographical reference for events involving Vikings that happened in specific areas. Given the resources for onomastic research in Ireland, there are many place names which have still to be identified with a degree of certainty so this is merely intended as a basic introduction. For further reading on these issues, see C. Etchingham, Viking raids on Irish church settlements in the ninth century : a reconsideration of the annals (Maynooth 1996) – especially the Appendix and Clare Downham, “The Vikings in Southern Uí Néill to 1014”, Peritia 17-18 (2003-2004) 233-55. The following is essentially a list organised by county and its focus are Scandinavian activities outside the main urban enclaves. The evidence for the Viking settlements of Dublin, Limerick, Waterford and Wexford has been omitted as making the attached file too large to be of use. As Ireland’s larger lakes border on several counties, it was found more convenient to place them separately at the end. A list of abbreviations for the sources used will also be found there. Co. Antrim (see also L. Neagh listed separately at the end) Coleraine 932 Airmedach, superior of Coleraine killed by Vikings (AU, AFM 930). Connor, 970 either sacked by Vikings or else inhabited by Vikings and sacked by Irish (AU, AFM 968). Dal Riata coast, 986, three shiploads of Vikings attacked this area but were defeated, and 7 score hanged or sold into slavery (AU, AFM 985).
