Well in Naas West

In 1998, archaeological monitoring (Licence no. 98E0030: www.excavations.ie) of groundworks associated with an extension to the rear of premises on South Main Street uncovered two distinct features of archaeological interest. One was a layer (Wth 0.56m; T 0.1-0.12m) of black, organic silt running along the northernmost edge of the development and into the adjacent property to the north. It lay directly upon the sterile subsoil. The second feature was a well situated in the central area of the extension. The structural integrity of the well was not endangered by the development, and it was covered over with slabs. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
