The National Monuments Service's description

Archaeological excavations in 1997 revealed a stone house (dims. 14m NE-SW x 7.4m NW-SE) (O'Donovan 2001, 38-45). The house was constructed with its narrow gable end fronting onto Friar St (ibid. 40). The wall foundations were c. 1m wide suggesting a building two to three storeys high (ibid.). The finds suggest a construction date between the late 16th/early 17th century, the house being continually occupied until its demolition in 1929 to facilitate the construction of a convent (ibid.).
