Test excavation was carried out in advance of a planning application for an extension to DIT, Kevin Street. The site lies 40m south of St Kevin’s Church.
Two of the proposed test-trenches were excavated by Niall Gregory and two by the writer.
The test-trenches produced evidence for activity on the site in the 18th and 19th centuries as evidenced by the build-up of rubble layers. An east–west ditch may have represented the remains of a post-medieval field fence. The rubble post-dated 1820. It produced many fragments of stoneware jars which were stamped ‘Price, Bristol’ and printed ‘Established 1843, Kerman & Co, Camden Row, Dublin, Works’.
