LCC - Produce a detailed Conservation Assessment and Method Statement (PSDP) for the section of Drogheda's Town Wall east of Featherbed Lane, between Laurence Street and Bachelor’s Lane

Description du marché

A detailed, site-based survey, equivalent to Level 3 of Historic England’s “Understanding Historic Buildings, a Guide to Good Recording Practice”, must be carried out. Archaeological and ecological surveys will be carried out as part of the project, including mortar sampling and testing, under archaeological monitoring, but no building work in 2024. The studies would inform future applications, applications for Ministerial Consent and the drawing up of tender documents for works over the next few years. The surveys would also map, assess, characterise, describe and present the spaces on either side of the town wall, with particular emphasis on the changes in levels of the steeply-falling ground (there is approximately 10m of a height difference between the two streets). These studies would also inform future efforts to open up access to the town wall, on one or both sides, and to designs for new, potentially-tourism-related uses of these spaces (subject to orderly planning).
