The site was located within the medieval walled town of Clonmel. A new warehouse was planned for an area to the rear of 43–44 O'Connell Street, the main medieval street in Clonmel. Only minimal ground disturbance was caused by the installation of a goods lift. It was only necessary to hand-excavate an area measuring 3.5m by 2.75m and 0.6m deep prior to the commencement of development works.
Nothing of archaeological significance was found. A layer of concrete and an underlying thin layer of rubble overlay the remains of a relatively modern cobbled yard. The cobbles occurred 0.4m below modern ground level and were set in a bed of very finely crushed red brick.
