The digging of a foul-water main connected to a temporary classroom at St Nicholas's school in the grounds of the former Augustinian friary, or Black Abbey, of Adare was monitored in October 1999. The groundwork associated with this development was extremely limited and superficial, and nothing of archaeological interest was uncovered.
