What is recorded here

Excavations in 1994 at Mellows Road revealed a section of ditch (Wth 8m, D 2m) associated with a bank (Wth 7m, D 0.5m) which may be part of an ecclesiastical enclosure associated with St. Canice's (McConway 1997, 33-34). Further excavations in 1996 on the site of the Spanish Convent revealed a gully, pits and a section of fosse running east-west (Wth 2m, D 1.2m). This fosse may have been part of the medieval precinct boundary around St Canice's church (McConway 1997, 33-34). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 26 August 2011
