The National Monuments Service's description
Several possible post-holes and shallow linear features, sealed by a deposit of garden soil of uncertain date, were recorded by Leigh Barker during archaeological test excavations (08E0031) to the rear of a modern building at the corner of Pudding Lane and Pennyfeather Lane, Kilkenny (Barker 2011). The features are located in a former NE-SW aligned burgage plot that is depicted on the 1758 John Rocque map of Kilkenny. Similar features were recorded in burgage plots to the SE excavated by Judith Carroll (97E0468) (Carroll 2000, 121-3). The possible post-holes and linear features were preserved in situ.
