Excavation

Archaeological excavations in 1997 revealed a stone wall (L 7m; Wth 1.6m; surviving H 0.3m), two parallel post rows (L 4.75m), a linear trench (L 5.3m; Wth 0.25-0.8m; D 0.25-0.6m) and a circular pit (diam. 1.13m; D 0.56m) (O'Donovan 2001, 35-7). The wall, orientated NW-SE has been interpreted as a possible boundary wall between Friar Street and the property along its E side (O'Donovan 2001, 37). The linear trench and two parallel post rows are also interpreted as possible property boundaries orientated NE-SW, the latter signifying a narrowing of the street (ibid. 37-8).
