Trial-trenching was undertaken at the site of a proposed development in the grounds of the National University of Ireland, Galway, on 6 July 2002, adjacent to the extant dovecote. Three trenches were excavated, but no archaeological features were noted. The ground appeared to have been raised during the development of the Concourse building, and a number of limestone building stones were discovered in the fill.
