Two areas of investigation were cleared on this site, which fronts onto Church Street, Drumcondra, and adjoins the graveyard at the west side of the medieval parish church of All Hallows. One was to further expose a ditch feature identified in an original site assessment by Paul Logue in 1997 (Excavations 1997, 30). This was found to be a natural low point rather than a ditch. Nevertheless, after a small quantity of medieval pottery was found in a layer that abutted the north wall of the site, the whole of this wall was exposed to foundation level and an elevation of this stone foundation was drawn. It was concluded that the medieval pottery was redeposited along with later ceramics and that the wall was post-medieval in date.
