Archaeological monitoring was carried out on an extension for a residential care centre in the Holy Faith Convent grounds, in response to a condition of planning. The work took place on 7–15 July and 4–6 August 1998. No archaeological features were uncovered. A fragment of a line-impressed floor tile and a late medieval green-glazed jug handle were recovered from the topsoil.
The floor tile had a six-foil in circle pattern, identical to Type L38. Only one other tile fragment has been recorded from Glasnevin, also line impressed. As the tile fragment was recovered from the topsoil its context was disturbed. However, its presence is probably connected to the local medieval Church of St Mobhi.
