Monitoring and excavation took place owing to a planning condition imposed on the development of 109 Cork Street as apartments. The site is within the Dublin City zone of archaeological potential. It is outside the walls of the medieval city, at the western edge of its suburbs just to the south of the Liberty of St Thomas. It would once have been situated on the south of St Thomas’s meadow, beside a tributary of the Poddle in the vicinity of a mill site.
Monitoring of construction works took place during May/June 2000. During monitoring six wood-lined pits of 19th-century date came to light and were excavated. Apart from some 18th-century pottery, there were no further archaeological features or finds.
