Scope and content

Report authored by Markus Casey for Austin Finnegan. Casey was commissioned to inspect the Thatch Bar in Tuam, which Finnegan was planning to renovate. Casey found no clear evidence of archaeological sites that would be disturbed by the development. The top corner of the document has been water damaged which has caused some ink to leach and pages to stick together.
Includes:
-the completed report (14 March 2004, 9pp);
-annotated colour photographs and maps of the Thatch Bar and its property printed on computer paper (5pp);
-copy of the letter sent to Finnegan by Galway County Council requesting the archaeological assessment alongside other requirements before a decision can be made on proceeding with construction (29 January 2004, 2pp);
-photocopied maps of the property and surrounding area (20 November 2003, 6pp).
