Portion of wall of medieval building or part of the NE boundary wall of the precinct and graveyard (KK019-026156-) of St Mary's parish church (KK019-026115-) excavated by Claire Cotter (06E0712) at 44-8 Kieran Street (Cotter 2009, 275-7; Cotter and Shine 2010, 14; Shine 2011). The wall (excavated L 6m, Wth 1m), orientated SE - NW, ran 1m W of the medieval revetment (KK019-026262-) and c. 6m E of the present post-medieval NE boundary/revetting wall for the graveyard of St Mary's church. Associated pottery dates the excavated wall to the 13th/14th century. A cobbled road (KK019-026280-), probably the original surfacing for St Kieran's Street, ran to the E of the excavated wall. The wall was interpreted by the excavator as either part of the boundary of St Mary's or the rear (W) wall of a substantial medieval building that originally occupied the street-frontage of Kieran Street (Cotter 2009, 276). It is likely further sections of the wall survive to the N and S of the excavated area.
