  • Archaeological Assessment at Naas Town Hall, Main Street, Naas County Kildare
    ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT AT NAAS TOWN HALL, MAIN STREET, NAAS COUNTY KILDARE LICENCE NUMBER: 18E0515 FOR: KILDARE COUNTY COUNCIL I.T.M.: 689221/719481 LICENCEE: DAVE BAYLEY NOVEMBER 2018 Naas Town Hall, Main Street, Archaeological Testing Naas, Co. Kildare Licence Number: 18E0515 ABSTRACT Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd has prepared this report on behalf of Kildare County Council, to study the impact, if any, on the archaeological and historical resource of the proposed redevelopment of the Naas Town Hall, which is located on Main Street, Naas, Co. Kildare (ITM 689221/719481). The testing was undertaken by David Bayley and Muireann Ní Cheallacháin of IAC Ltd under licence 18E0515. The proposed development area is located in the townland of Naas West, parish of Naas, and barony of Naas North. The eastern boundary of the site is on the townland boundary with Naas East, Main Street North. The proposed development area is within the zone of potential for the historic town of Naas (RMP KD019-030). The proposed development area contains the site of a recorded monument, the site of White Castle (KD019-030018). The existing town hall, which was formerly a gaol, is also listed within the Record of Protected Structures for Kildare (RPS NS 19-047) and the NIAH building survey (NIAH 11814041). Four site investigation test pits were excavated in the rear yard during June 2018, which were archaeologically monitored. One test trench and one test pit were excavated within the rear yard in October 2018. The works confirmed the presence of an overburden layer within the yard area and identified the footing of a stone and mortar wall to the immediate west of the town hall structure.

    Chief Executive’s Report On submissions/observations received to the Draft Naas Local Area Plan 2021 - 2027 Appendix 1: Summary of Submissions/Observations Received The submissions summarised in Appendix 1 exclude the following: • Submissions No. 1 to 12 inclusive. These submissions are from the Prescribed Authorities and are summarised in Section 3 of the Chief Executive’s Report. • Submissions that relate to the requests for the zoning of land. These submissions are summarised in Section 4 of the Chief Executive’s report and refer to the following submissions: 92, 118, 166, 210, 243, 245, 260, 298, 321, 335, 343, 344, 349, 355, 360, 446, 456, 467, 482, 504, 506, 508, 524, 548, 552, 594, 598, 615, 646, 656, 657, 658, 666, 667, 668, 675, 676, 678, 679, 680, 686, 694, 696. Sub. Name Summary of Submission No. 013 M Murphy The submission relates to Permeability Measure 63. The submission does not understand the need for this as there is already an entrance from the R445. The proposed pathway is approximately 50 meters from the existing one and serves no additional benefit to the community. Negative implications: • Health and safety risk for children to have another entrance\exit to busy road. • Security risk to the residence of the estate. • Creates a walk-through area where increased footfall will have a negative effect on the privacy and security of the residents. • Risk entrance will encourage loitering and anti-social behaviour. • Litter will increase from additional footfall. • Use of bicycles along a quiet walkway is a danger to people walking. Submission believes the proposal is a total waste of taxpayers’ money and could recommend several ways where the money could be better spent to improve the community.

The report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying report of Mr John Desmond, Planning Inspector which addresses the traffic and transport impacts of the scheme, the modelling undertaken, the need for the scheme, alternatives investigated and related matters. A related scheme is before the Board at present, namely the M7 Naas to Newbridge Bypass Upgrade Scheme. The two schemes have a physical interface at the proposed Osberstown Interchange. The applicant states that the operation of this scheme prior to the Naas to Newbridge Bypass Upgrade would not be feasible for reasons of traffic capacity. Cumulative impacts arising are considered in the EIS. The current scheme may be constructed in two phases, the Osberstown Interchange and the Sallins Bypass. The prior construction and operation of Osberstown Interchange is assessed as an ‘interim scenario’. The Board has previously considered an application for an interchange at this, albeit one of lesser capacity.

  • Chapter 13 Archaeology, Architecture and Cultural Heritage
    Roughan & O’Donovan – AECOM Alliance Kildare County Council Consulting Engineers M7 Naas to Newbridge By-Pass Upgrade Scheme Chapter 13 Archaeology, Architecture and Cultural Heritage 13.1 Introduction This report assesses the impact, if any, on the archaeological, architectural and cultural heritage resource of the proposed M7 Widening from Greatconnell to Johnstown, Co Kildare (OS Sheet 19), including the proposed upgrade of Newhall Interchange (Refer Figure 1.1, EIS Volume 3). This study determines, as far as reasonably possible from existing records, the nature of the cultural heritage resource in and within the vicinity of the proposed scheme using appropriate methods of study. Desk-based assessment is defined as a programme of study of the historic environment within a specified area or site that addresses agreed research and/or conservation objectives. It consists of an analysis of existing written, graphic, photographic and electronic information in order to identify the likely heritage assets, their interests and significance and the character of the study area, including appropriate consideration of the settings of heritage assets (Institute of Field Archaeologists 2012). This leads to the following: Determining the presence of known archaeological and built heritage sites that may be affected by the proposed development; Assessment of the likelihood of finding previously unrecorded archaeological remains during the construction programme; Determining the impact upon the setting of known cultural heritage sites in the surrounding area; Suggested mitigation measures based upon the results of the above research. The study has been carried out in accordance with the Code of Practice that was agreed between the NRA and the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands (now the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, DoAHG) and EPA Guidelines and advice notes (2003).

  • Section 9 : Cultural Heritage
    ’s Land Restoration Ltd Behan Lands at Blackhall, Co. Kildare Waste Licence Application : Environmental Impact Statement Restoration of Former Gravel Quarry SECTION 9 : CULTURAL HERITAGE 9.1 INTRODUCTION 9.1.1 Background This section of the EIS outlines the Architectural, Archaeological and Cultural Heritage issues with respect to proposed quarry restoration project at Blackhall, Punchestown, Co. Kildare. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process for anticipating the effects on the environment caused by a development. An Environmental Impact Statement is the document produced as a result of that process (EIS). Where effects are identified that are unacceptable, these can then be avoided or reduced during the design process (Environmental Protection Agency 2003:1). This study determines, as far as reasonably possible from existing records, the nature of the cultural heritage resource within the area of proposed development using appropriate methods of study. Desk based research is defined as an assessment of the known or potential archaeological resource within a specified area consisting of a collation of existing written and graphic information. The assessment takes place in order to identify the likely character, extent, quality and worth of the known or potential archaeological resource in order to make an assessment of its merit in context, leading to one or more of the following: The formulation of a strategy to ensure the recording, preservation or management of the cultural heritage resource; The formulation of a strategy for further investigation, whether or not intrusive, where the character and value of the resource is not sufficiently defined to permit a mitigation strategy or other response; The formulation of a proposal for further archaeological investigation within a programme of research.
