Pre-development testing was carried out on the site of a proposed housing development on this street, as it lies within the zone of archaeological potential for Thurles. A series of test-trenches were opened across the site using a mechanical digger. Each of the trenches was excavated into the underlying subsoil. Nothing of archaeological interest was uncovered.
