The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological testing (03E1729) on a site fronting onto Paul Quay and bordered by Oyster Lane on the NW and which is c. 50m S of the Crescent uncovered sections of a number of walls running NE-SW. One wall (Wth 1.6m), encountered at a depth of 1.3m had organic layers containing Leinster ware to its NW and is interpreted as a possible quay-wall with a lagoon on the NW and perhaps infill material to the SE. (McLoughlin 2004; 2006)
