Monitoring of topsoil-stripping at the residential development site in the grounds of All Hallows College, Drumcondra, was carried out on 13 August 2001.
A series of parallel linear features were revealed. The fills of these features were identical and consisted of a dark brown loamy soil identical to the topsoil. In all, 40 of these features were identified, three of which were c. 1m wide while the remaining 37 were c. 0.3–0.4m wide. All were cut by a test-trench (Trench 5) excavated by Catherine McLoughlin in April 2001 (see Excavations 2001, No. 353). Sherds of post-medieval and modern pottery were recovered from a number of the features. These features were elements of a post-medieval field system and of no archaeological significance.
