The National Monuments Service's description
An excavation at the former Ardee Credit Union site in 2003 (Excavation Licence No. 03E0058) revealed a continuous sequence of occupation from the 13th to the 20th century. Two timber buildings represented the first phase of occupation above which lay series of different buildings. A boundary ditch, a cobbled surface, refuse pits and sand and gravel extraction pits all dating to the medieval period were uncovered. All features were removed with the exception of a medieval cesspit which is preserved in situ beneath a suspended ground-beam. (Clutterbuck 2006, 322-4)
