An archaeological assessment took place in October 1998 for a proposed development at Evan's Lane Kilkenny, in the northern sector of the medieval city, to the rear of Rothe House. The proposed development involved the construction of two houses on the site, covering an area 16m x 6.5m. No demolition of existing walls is planned.
Three linear test-trenches were opened and revealed no early standing walls or significant archaeological deposits. However, the presence of finds dating to the late medieval/post-medieval period, in a disturbed ditch, suggested the presence of archaeological layers or features close by.
Archaeological monitoring of foundations was recommended by Dúchas and took place in November 1998. No archaeological soils or features were observed during monitoring.
