The scale of mineral extraction sites means that it is vitally important to secure detailed pre-planning advice regarding potential archaeological and cultural heritage impacts associated with a proposed development.
We offer advice from the project’s design stage by identifying potential adverse impacts on the built environment. This risk management approach quantifies the site’s archaeological potential and helps develop mitigation strategies to offset development costs and delays.
dermot nelis archaeology has carried out over 30 cultural heritage EIAs for mineral extraction sites, ranging from limestone quarries in Mayo to sand and gravel sites in Wexford. We also provide all fieldwork services which may be required in the mitigation of archaeological impacts.
