Limited testing was undertaken in an open yard to the rear of the premises adjoining the curtain wall of Swords Castle. It is proposed to demolish much of the existing structure, rebuild it and create an external walkway outside the curtain wall. The testing uncovered deposits up to 1m deep that are medieval in date and are overlain by foundations of much later buildings. More work on this site will take place in 2003.
