An archaeological detection device licence for geophysical survey work at Killsallaghan, County Dublin, was issued by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government on 3 March 2005. The licence was issued to a geophysicist working on behalf of the Killsallaghan residents association. The Archaeological Survey of Ireland, which is under the aegis of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, undertook an archaeological field survey at Killsallaghan in the townlands of Killsallaghan and Castlefarm on 8 October 1992. The survey work was undertaken as part of the archaeological inventory of County Dublin. The ten archaeological sites which were identified were later listed for statutory protection in the record of monument and places, which was established under section 12 of the National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994.
