5361- Kilmainhamwood Compost Facility Extension- EIS 12 CULTURAL HERITAGE & ARCHAEOLOGY 12.1 INTRODUCTION This cultural and archaeological heritage desktop assessment was completed by TOBIN Consulting Engineers on behalf of Thorntons Recycling in relation to lands at Ballynalurgan, County Meath. The purpose of this assessment is to identify and classify the extent and potential impacts on any archaeological features or deposits, which may be adjacent to or within the proposed extension area of the existing compost facility. 12.1.1 Methodology The assessment of the archaeological and cultural heritage was based on a desktop study of published and unpublished documentary completed by TOBIN Consulting Engineers in February 2009. The following sources were consulted during the desktop study. Record of Monuments and Places The RMP is a database recording all archaeological sites in Ireland known to the National Monuments Service established under Section 12 of the 1994 National Monuments (Amendment) Act. It is based on Ordnance Survey 6” sheets, which indicate the location of each monument or place of archaeological interest. For each, a file contains further documentary and photographic data or information relating to an archaeological event such as a site visit, survey or excavation. These are housed in the National Monuments Services in Dublin. The record is constantly updated and focuses on monuments that predate 1700. For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. The National Museum of Ireland Topographical Files The discovery of artefacts can be an important indicator of past levels of activity in an area and therefore a useful guide to the archaeological potential of a site. The National Museum in Dublin houses a national archive of antiquities cataloguing artefacts that were found and reported between 1928 and recent years. These artefacts are catalogued by year and accession number. Irish Excavations Database This online database (www.excavations.ie) contains summary accounts of all excavations carried out in Ireland – North and South – from 1970 to 2004. The database has been compiled from the published Excavations Bulletins from those years. The database was consulted to check if any excavations were carried out within the assessment area or its immediate environs. Reference sources consulted for this cultural and archaeological heritage assessment are presented in Appendix 12.1. 168 EPA Export 01-06-2010:03:56:00
