What is recorded here

In the 17th century, the Dominicans may have moved from their friary (KD019-030012-) just NW of the motte (KD019-030009-) to this location near the junction of Abbey St. and Canal/Basin St., c. 250m to the SSE. No visible surface traces survive. (Bradley et al. 1986 vol. 4, 376) In 1995, archaeological testing (Licence no. 95E0042: www.excavations.ie) uncovered a probable graveyard (KD019-030022-) immediately to the E of the presumed site of the friary.
