The aim is to trap in the Tipperary Woods area any flood waters which would top the banks of the Shimna during exceptionally wet weather events and so minimise the threat of flooding in residential areas on the coastal flood plain. A strip of forest land in front of the wall has been cleared of all vegetation.
