The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered during pre-development excavation in 1996 (Excavation Licence No. 96E0161). The remains of a medieval house and its associated burgage plot were uncovered. Two walls, one aligned N-S and one E-W, were exposed along with the walls bounding the burgage plot. Organic deposits of garden soil were found in the area of the plot along with a well (LH024-041050-) and a stone lined pit (LH024-041051-). Finds recovered included medieval ridge tiles, medieval pottery, wood and leather. ((pers. comm. Eoin Corcoran (Archaeological Consultancy Services Limited))
