The National Monuments Service's description

Stone-walled houses seem to have become standard in Waterford from the mid-14th century, and the remains of ten late medieval and post-medieval houses were recovered by excavation of the area bounded by High St. and Peter St, Cook Lane and Arundel Square. The foundations of these late medieval/post-medieval houses were cut into the surface of the earlier stratified structures or the fill of medieval pits. The walls (Wth c. 0.8-1.2m) were very fragmentary and the full dimensions of the structures could not be recovered. (Scully 1997b)
