The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological monitoring carried out for Rosecourt, Portarlington Water Rehabilitation Scheme, County Laois on behalf of Ward and Burke Construction Ltd., took place in January and February 2018 under licence no.18E0001. An early modern stone arch (L 1.60m) associated with a sewage pipe was uncovered on French Church Street and was preserved in situ. A fragment of the base of a bowl was found within rubble backfill at approximately 1.6m below the current road surface (ITM 653978 712620). The underside is stamped ‘Portarlington School’ and ‘Diligentia Vincit’ within a circular wreath. There can be no doubt that the bowl fragment is associated with the boarding school phase of Arlington House, dating to c. 1846-1912.
